Nova Weetman’s pitch perfect, The Edge of Thirteen has once again taken out the top spot – this story is a beautiful ode to growing up at your own pace.
Other best sellers from the past week are bursting with monsters, mayhem and magic! Rowley Jefferson returns with a comically terrifying read, a magical arcade holds possibility for both delight and disaster, and two favourite Australian creators have released a madcap new series that has taken out three of the ten spots!
Sally Rippin and Chris Kennett’s School of Monsters series is aimed at newly independent readers and pairs bold, bright illustrations with energetic rhyming sentences, with fantastically silly results.
