Language Learner Literature Award - WINNER

In 2004, the Extensive Reading Foundation established the Language Learner Literature Award for graded readers in English. The Award aims to support the development of language learner literature in English, and to encourage extensive reading in language education.
These awards are conferred each year on books that are selected for their outstanding overall quality and likely enduring appeal. An international jury makes the final choices, taking into account the Internet votes of students, teachers and others from around the world.
