Price 12-17
The "Tu l'as lu" or 12-17 Crédit Agricole Centre-France Prize is awarded to a writer for secondary school pupils (aged 12-14) and another for secondary school students (aged 15-17). The winners are French-speaking authors.
A prize for children's literature
Supported by Crédit Agricole Centre-France, the Brive Book Fair awards two prizes to authors of children's literature. The jury is made up of experts in these age groups, since it is the young secondary school pupils of Brive-la-Gaillarde who, after reading the works of the authors selected, discuss them with the librarians and librarians to decide on the winners!
Prior to 1998, the 12-17 prize for children's literature was awarded jointly to a Quebec author and a French author as part of the Prix 12/17 Brive-Montréal.

2024 edition
The winners of the 2024 edition are : Amélie ANTOINE for her chilling thriller"Ne vois-tu rien venir?" published by Syros (12-14 age group) and Elise FONTENAILLE for her moving historical novel "Missak et Mélinée : une histoire de l'Affiche Rouge" published by Rouergue (15-17 age group).
Their prizes will be presented at the Book Fair on Saturday 9 November at 3pm at the Espace des Trois Provinces, in the presence of the young members of the jury.
- Ne vois-tu rien venir is a hard-hitting novel about bullying at school.
Halfway between fiction and history, Missak et Mélinée tells the story of twenty-three heroes who resisted Nazi Germany and fought to the bitter end for their freedom. A humanist novel that is also about poetry and love, it touched and inspired the members of the jury, winning over even those who, on the face of it, didn't like history!
