    Engaging YA from one of Australia's best writers for young people, love the post-covid setting, acknowledging the trauma of those years. A thought-provoking read on our relationship with technology and surveillance.

  • Grace Notes

    By Karen Comer
    5 stars

    Stunning YA verse novel set in lockdown Melbourne, so very real and necessary for our rangatahi to have stories to read which validate their experiences in those weird pandemic times. A cracking debut novel from Karen Comer.

  • Containment

    By Vanda Symon
    3 stars

    A re-read, definitely enjoyed this more when it was new, the tone and social commentary haven't aged too well. The central mystery of the plot made it worth persevering till the end, though. Do appreciate a deliberately Aotearoa setting for a crime procedural.

  • Sword of the Sun

    By Sinéad O'Hart
    4 stars

    A read-aloud with the tamariki, lots of learning for all of us about Irish mythology but a tough one to read aloud, a more user-friendly pronunciation guide would have been appreciated!
