This is going to be a huge task from birth to YA. I'm concerned that trying to get a representation across so many genres, formats and particularly across so many reading levels this might reduce the effect of the health check. Would it be more effectual to do YA alone and put baby-JF together?

Hi, I am a member of the committee working on this project. It will be a difficult task there is no denying that. There will be some categories that will be heavily represented by YA and others which will be more suited to younger readers. The problem is that you get a crossover in the age groups so where do you draw the line as to what is a YA book and what is a junior book. There is a more defined line between YA and adult which gives separation between adults and children's books. We encourage you to suggest more categories and as many titles that you think should be included from YA to picture books. What we found when constructing these lists is that authors are often represented across the age groups so while the adult health check only allowed authors to be represented once, in this case it may be more difficult to stick to this. Please continue to add your thoughts to the discussion as this is a very relevant point. Sharon
