The 2026 Shortlist is Here!!

As we celebrate our 15th Birthday this year, we are delighted to announce yet another AMAZING Shortlist. It was a super close call between the 20 books on our Longlist, and the five books that eventually became our 2026 Shortlist.

The 2026 Shortlist is:

1. The Wycherleys by  Annaliese Avery
2. Cloud Nine by Sue H. Cunningham
3. Mondays are Murder by Ravena Guron
4. Aphrodite by Bryony Pearce
5. We Three Witches by Rosie Talbot

You and your students now have until the 5th of June to read all five titles and then vote for your favourite! See our FAQ for information on how to vote.

Hope to see you at Durrington High School on the 19th June for the big awards night with our host and previous Silver Winner Benjamin Dean
