It’s not even remotely Halloween, but we must be feeling pretty spooky (and in need of a laugh), because Aaron Blabey’s beloved pug, Pig, is at the top of our charts this week! Adam Silvera’s 2017 YA novel, They Both Die at the End, continues to ride a steady wave of TikTok/Booktok recommendations, and our top three is rounded out with Yumi Stynes and Dr. Melissa Kang’s essential guide to consent respectful relationships, Welcome to Consent.
New entries this week include the latest book in Anh Do’s much-loved Wolf Girl series, and Don Watson’s fascinating and comprehensive illustrated history of Australia. Other other kids and YA bestsellers include: Casey McQuiston’s time-travelling queer romance, a Roman-era time-slip adventure, a magical Readings YA Prize shortlisted novel, and a beautiful illustrated guide to Australian trees.
