The Extensive Reading Foundation
2007 Language Learner Literature Award Winners

The Extensive Reading Foundation (ERF), an unaffiliated, not-for-profit organization that supports and promotes extensive reading in language education, takes pleasure in announcing the winners of the 4th Annual Language Learner Literature Award for books published in 2006.

An international jury chose the winning book in four categories, taking into account the Internet votes and comments of students and teachers from a reported 21 countries around the world.

Young Learners
The Boy Who Burped Too Much by Scott Nickel. Illustrated by Steve Harpster. Graphic Sparks (Stone Arch). ISBN: 9781598891683

In choosing The Boy Who Burped Too Much as winner, the jury noted the fast-moving plot and colorful illustrations in a story that will provide great fun and excitement to children, who won't be able to put it down until they finish it. Voters commented, "really fantastic and interesting." (Hong Kong) "It's funny and the pictures are wonderful." (Viet Nam)

Adolescents and Adults--Beginners
Let Me Out by Antoinette Moses. Illustrations by Chris Pavely. Cambridge English Readers, Starter Level (Cambridge University Press). ISBN: 9780521683296

This is Moses' second Language Learner Literature Award after winning in 2004 for Jojo's Story. The jury found Let Me Out a very well crafted science fiction story, noting its rare ability to create an emotional connection between reader and book characters. That it was a popular winner in a competitive field heartened the jury: "It's great to see a strong story-line carry the day." Voters commented, "scary and exciting." (Japan) "The story makes us think deeply about human life." (Russian Federation)

Adolescents and Adults--Intermediate
Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. Retold by Jennifer Bassett. Oxford Bookworms Library, Stage 3 (Oxford University Press). ISBN: 9780194233101

The jury called Rabbit-Proof Fence sustained and powerful; a true story that reflects the experience of marginalised people everywhere. The well-paced retelling brings a second Language Learner Literature Award to Jennifer Bassett, who won for Love among the Haystacks in 2005. One teacher commented, "From the moment [my students] opened the book, they felt as if the story was about their own lives.... [It] helped them to become closer to their classmates who were not from the same backgrounds as they." (United States)

Adolescents and Adults--Advanced
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. Retold by Clare West. Illustrated by Gavin Reece. Oxford Bookworms Library, Stage 5 (Oxford University Press). ISBN: 9780194230766

The Age of Innocence successfully marshals its large cast of characters in a book that will keep its readers guessing until the end. The jury found it ideal for readers who enjoy stories that deal with emotions and relationships. Voters commented, "Because the descriptions were very good... you read and don't stop." (Peru) "It was so romantic." (Somalia)
