2010 lists
The inclusion of a book on the list does not mean it is a recommended text for all students. The booklist provides a broad range of books from which students, parents and teachers can choose appropriate reading material for individual students. If you have any concerns about the content of titles on the Challenge book lists we encourage you to become involved in the selection of books your child reads for the Challenge to ensure they are culturally appropriate.

Each title on these lists has been allocated to the year level or levels for which it is usually most appropriate. A number of titles therefore appear on more than one list. There are five lists. The list of books for Year 9 and 10 is for mature readers. The list includes a range of young adult titles from which students, parents and teachers can choose reading material which is appropriate for each individual. The books on this list are diverse in style and contain a broad range of themes and ideas. They reflect the reading habits and choices made by many young adolescents. The inclusion of a book on this list does not mean it is a recommended text for all students.
