This award is given to an outstanding book for children and young adult readers. Nominated books must be written in English and be published the year before the nomination in the UK. It is voted on by librarians and feed back from school students.

The KOALA Awards
The KOALA Awards (Kids Own Australian Literature Awards, Inc) are annual awards made by young readers to the Australian books that they have most enjoyed reading or having read to them during the year. Children in Australia are able to nominate their favorite Australian book. Children then vote for their favorite title from the shortened list of 30 titles. There are four categories: Picture Book, Younger Readers, Older Readers, and the Years 7-9 category. KOALA is a nonprofit organization that is ran by teacher/librarian, public librarians, teachers, publishers, and other supporters of children's literature volunteers.
