Hi Junior Judges

How are the holidays going? Are you doing lots of reading?

The Junior Judges' Project is moving into the next phase with Voting now open and the 'Name the Critter' voting also open.

Congratulations to everyone who suggested a name for the Critter. You came up with some truly amazing names. We've selected only three for the shortlist and now you get a chance to vote for your favourite. There are some great Faber-Castell prizes on offer.

You should be well on your way to reading and discussing the Book of the Year Shortlisted books. When you're ready you can vote for your favourite book in each category.

If you want to discuss nay of the book or express a view on children's literature, then why not use the Junior Judges Forum.

Good luck, and happy reading.
