The CBCA 2026 Notables in five Book of the Year categories will be announced at various events around Australia next week on Tuesday 24th February. I love attending these events - it is so exciting to discover books I have not yet read and also to see many books that I loved reading during 2025.
I was honestly very disappointed, though, with the CBCA Younger Readers choices and winners in 2024 and 2025. I do hope some of the titles in this post have been entered and that they 'make the cut'. I have put my top three above. I used three of our Australian Standing order services as a way to remind myself or hunt out Younger Readers (ages 7-12). Lost in a Book may not be eligible because it is a sequel, but I think it can stand alone and I loved it even more than the first installment.
I gave four stars to Oceanforged; Danger Road; The Keeper of the Octopus; Little Bones; Promises and other Lies; The Silken Thread; How to Sail to Somewhere; and Willow Bright's Secret Plot.
