  • Te Reo Kapekape

    By Hona Black
    5 stars

    Hilarious! Written in both te reo Māori and te reo Pākehā, this is full of meke sayings to learn and use. My personal fave was e te uri o Kare rāua ko Take- the offspring of Use and Less... And variations. Great intro explaining origins of many kīwaha and how colonisation changed how many were viewed and used. Loved it. He tino pai ki a au te pukapuka.

  • Free Lunch

    By Rex Ogle
    5 stars

    A really uncomfortable read, good idea to have tissues close at hand. US book but still feels very real in Aotearoa. Def YA up, discusses domestic violence. Very up-front. True story of the author's childhood.

  • Mondays are Murder

    By Ravena Guron
    4 stars

    A good YA thriller / who dunnit! Kay heads back to her former home, reluctantly, only to find herself in the middle of her own predicted murder! Lots of mixing of the past and present and realising that not everyone is who they seem to be.

  • Everyday

    By David Levithan
    5 stars

    YA. Read with tissues. A wakes up every day in a new life in a new body... What happens when A wants to take control and stay in a life? Couldn't put it down.

  • These Stolen Lives

    By Sharada Keats
