I really think this is such a great longlist of excellent books. Looking at it really makes me envy the young readers in the UK. I'm definitely going to try and get more of these books read and reviewed as a bit of a personal challenge. What's the worst that can happen? An attack of imagination? Sign me up!

Also, all the information from here about the longlist, I've nabbed from the official website which can be found here.

Below this cut, is the Kate Greenaway Longlist - and sadly, I've failed to read a single one of the books nominated.  *am sad*
