  • Legend

    By Marie Lu
    4 stars

    Legend is the first in the series by Marie Lu. I decided early on this book was not for me, I felt it was so similar to The Hunger Games series that I felt like I was rereading it. But, I persevered and soon found myself engrossed in the characters, June, Day and Tess. A very good read as an alternative to The Hunger Games, whether or not I'll read the rest of the series will remain to be seen!

  • Enemy at the Gate

    By Phillipa Werry
    4 stars

    A great step back in time by one of my favourite NZ authors. Great comparative reading with our more recent Covid pandemics. The style of Phillipa's storytelling absolutely transports the reader straight into 1936 in such a believable way, it makes compelling reading relatable. Perfect for students to see how things were and how, or if, they have really changed very much between 1936 and today.
