Earth

By John Boyne

4 stars

Darker than Water. I hope the trend doesn’t continue…
Water

By John Boyne

5 stars

Starting Earth as soon as a can!
All That We Know

By Shilo Kino

4 stars

I’ve never read anything like this - decolonisation, love, friendship, religion, race and social media are just some of the issues that our protagonist Māreikira is attempting to negotiate as she takes a year out to learn her reo. Very readable, sad, funny, awkward, frustrating, guilt-inducing, uplifting… it’s got everything!
1985: A Novel

By Dominic Hoey

4 stars

Obi is 11, one of only three palagis in his year at school, and he lives for spacies. The story is a bit dark at times, but also funny (reminiscent of The Castle in its narrative style). Now I know what kefe, bolo, sole, and ai valea mean!
Calling Major Tom

By David M. Barnett

4 stars

As you might expect, there are multiple references to David Bowie in this entertaining read.
One Minute Crying Time

By Barbara Ewing

4 stars

Barbara’s memoir, based on her diary entries, growing up in Wellington and working in Auckland in the 1950’s, before heading to London and becoming a famous actor. She learned to speak te reo Māori fairly fluently.
Doom Creek

By Alan Carter

4 stars

Gripping mystery set in Marlborough, the second in a series. With the added bonus of song lyrics to spot!
