2013-2014 Longlists

These lists include all the titles on the Listopia lists, but also include ones members suggested either in person or via email.

• • Early Readers - ISLN GoodReads bookshelf

  • Younger Readers - ISLN GoodReads bookshelf

  • Older Readers - ISLN GoodReads bookshelf

  • Mature Readers - ISLN GoodReads bookshelf

Criteria in choosing books for the longlist:

• • Mix of genres, e.g., fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic format

  • Balance of boy/girl main characters

  • Balance of nationalities

  • Published (in English) within the last 4 years

  • The shortlists will consist of 8 books at each level

  • Preferably only #1 if in a series

• Preferably no repeat of an author from previous years

These GoodReads Listopia lists are open to anyone in the world (with a GoodReads account) to contribute to - and/or vote on:

• Red Dot 2014: Early Years: Suggested LONG LIST

• Red Dot 2014: Younger Readers: Suggested LONG LIST

• Red Dot 2014: Older Readers: Suggested LONG LIST

• Red Dot 2014: Mature Readers: Suggested LONG LIST

Students are encouraged to vote for titles on these Listopia lists over the summer.

The four SHORT LISTS will be announced by the Red Dot ISLN committee at the first network meeting in September.

NB: The short list titles may include ones not on any of these lists; members sometimes find fantastic books over the long summer break which they then promote to the committee.

(Alternatively, click here to join our Red Dot Nominations Group in GoodReads and put books on the Group bookshelves. Some of us will then put the group suggestions on the next year's LONG LISTS.)
