The longlist was released in late May, however there is still plenty of time if you wish to read the titles and make your own choices before the winner is announced in September. Jill Eccleshare of the Guardian newspaper says that the finalists represented "books (that) portray the journey from child to adult as a complicated, hazardous and unpredictable one. In doing so they encourage readers to wonder and to explore; above all, to think about the kinds of "selves" they may be or like to be."

Some excellent books on the list! I loved and highly recommend both Before I Die and The Knife of Never Letting Go. They are both really unique books and both stories have really stuck with me. Either one of these would be my choices.
