2013 Inky Awards Announced in Melbourne Australia

We are pleased to announce the Inky Awards for best teen Australian and International Book in 2013. The Inky Awards is hosted each year by Inside A Dog which is the website dedicated to Children's and Youth Literature at the State Library of Victoria Australia.  As an Aussie Mundie Mom I love all the hard work the people at our Vic State Library do for Children's and Teen fiction.
