Children’s Longlist for the 2018 Indie Book Awards

Established in 2008, the Indie Book Awards aimed to create unique award recognising and rewarding the best Australian writing as chosen by Australian Independent Booksellers. The Awards celebrate the enormous depth and range of literary talent in this nation.
