2008 lists
The Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge booklists have been updated for the second half of the 2008 Challenge. Additions have been made to the lists for all years.
A list of all new titles with ISBN details is available for download here:
New titles from 16 May 2008 (Excel - 47Kb)
Lists of new titles with only author and series/title information can be found below.
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.
