TitleVote for the Extensive Reading Foundation 2006 Language Learner Literature Award
BodyFrom http://langconcepts.net/erf/poll2006.php

Every year, publishers of graded readers nominate their best fiction or nonfiction books published in the previous year. The Extensive Reading Foundation international Award Jury reads the nominated books, looking for the ones they think will engage and satisfy learners of English—in short, books that are "a good read." This year the jury has choosen three finalist books in two categories: Young Learners, and Adolescents and Adults.

The six finalist books for the 2006 Language Learner Literature Award are listed below. Students of English and their teachers are encouraged to read the books in their category, and to vote for the one they enjoy reading most. They can also comment on why they think that book deserves to win the 2006 Award.

Voting closes on July 14, 2006. The Jury will count your votes and read your comments. Balancing such things as the availability of the books and the number of votes cast in different countries, it will choose a winner in each category. The winning books will be announced on this site on August 31st.
