Eight amazing authors, eight groundbreaking books, and one fabulous young critics competition. If you’re 18 or under and haven’t entered yet all you have to do is read and review ONE of our longlisted books (and they are all brilliant). The deadline is 30 October so you still have time to enter!

If you have any problems sending your review then you can also email it to childrensfictionprize@theguardian.com, making sure to include your name, age, contact details of parents etc.

Happy reading and reviewing! If you have any questions about entering email childrensfictionprize@theguardian.com.

We’ll be announcing the shortlist of four books on November 2. And the winner will be announced at the party on November 19 – will you be there to see it happen?
