    Three children from different countries (Germany, Cuba and Syria) and different times escape their homelands looking for a better life. Great illustrations in this graphic novel.

    A gritty collection of poems

  • There's a cure for this

    By Dr Emma Espiner
    4 stars

    I thought this was a powerful book not only dealing with the medical system and her part in it, but also racism and poverty in Aotearoa.

  • The Scholar

    By Dervla McTiernan

    Excellent Irish detective mystery. The lead detective's partner becomes linked to the investigation when she finds the victim and works in the same laboratory.

  • The Waters

    By Carl Nixon
    4 stars

    Loved the Canterbury setting of this book. Three siblings blighted by their difficult childhood. The book goes back and forth over 40 years of their lives.

  • Wolf Hour

    By Jo Nesbo
    3 stars

    Took me a bit to get in to this book with the writing style but it grew on me. A tale of revenge.

  • Giving birth to my father

    By Tusaiata Avia
    4 stars

    I love to hear a Samoan women's perspective. This time it's about death. As a palagi woman married to a Samoan I know about the events but it's great to hear about the thinking behind.
