YABBA Book Review Form

Tell us about your favourite book

Use this form to submit reviews of your favourite Australian books.

  • Insightful reviews are sought, where the words in the review make the student's view clear.
  • There is no need to give the book a mark or score, nor to give ages of who should read the book.
  • If the book has illustrations, students should comment on the how the pictures affect their judgement of the book as a whole.
  • Students should not try to give the whole plot, just a brief summary is sufficient.

    After the YABBA committee gets your review, it may be edited and if it meets the guidelines it will be published on the Review Pages of our website.

    Reviews are updated every 2 to 4 weeks. So keep checking the YABBA Review pages to see if your review is there!
