In December kids voted for their favourite Kids’ Choice book for 2008* and we’re happy to announce that My Sister Jodie by Jacqueline Wilson won the Kids’ Choice 2008 Gold Medal, thanks to lots and lots of Jacqueline Wilson fans out there.

The second most popular book was Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney, and the awesome Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing with Fire by Derek Landy also got heaps of votes.

If you haven’t read any of these books maybe you should check them out? They’re all good reads. For other good reads and recommendations from kids check out the Kids’ Choice page or the Book Reviews page on the kids’ site. If you don’t see your favourite book there and you think that’s scandalous, don’t fret! You can submit a review, and also nominate a kids’ choice here. We like hearing which books you love!

* This was for new books received by the library in 2008 only, so while The BFG by Roald Dahl is a fab book it wasn’t included, since we’ve had it for aaaages!
