Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's project. We hope you had fun reading and discussing the books.

We'd really like to get your feedback and suggestions on how to improve the JJP. Do you have any ideas for resources or competitions?

If you want to discuss any of the books or express a view on children's literature, then why not use the Junior Judges Forum.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Lonnie
Project Coordinator
