Looks like an interesting list. I don't think that I've read any of them, except probably the Isle.

Me either, so I'm going to try to use it as a reading list.

I've passed the list on to a friend who is a teacher-librarian - she is interested in more information. Do you know if there was a press-release about the short list? Or where she might get information about previous winners?
