  • Good Things Come and Go

    Three high school friends meet after many years - two are together now. The past is opened up and secrets are revealed. A well written NZ novel

  • Flying Free

    By Adrienne M Frater
    3 stars

    A compilation of short stories Aotearoa NZ flavored that have been inspired by events and activities that the author has experienced and used as a basis for her writing. A little dated now but I think they would have been a popular read for tamariki 10- 15 years ago. I certainly could relate to many of the stories

  • Skunk and Badger

    By Amy Timberlake
    5 stars

    A much more sophisticated story than what I was expecting. The unlikely pairing of a skunk and a badger one of whom is set in his ways predictable and boring and the other charming and friendly. Gorgeous writing - loved this line especially “he chipped away at a muffin tray barnacled with batter..” . Exactly how our muffin trays are in our house!
