Two OzYA books top last week’s list of our bestselling children’s and YA books.
Told through a compelling dossier of emails, classified files, transcripts and schematics, Gemina is the highly anticipated sequel to Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff’s breakout hit of 2015, Illuminae.
Kim Kane’s When the Lyrebird Calls is a gripping time-slip narrative for the younger end of YA. Our reviewer writes: ‘Confident readers of 10–14 will find this a rich and lively experience, full of interesting references, with a feminist backbone and a sense of fun alongside its important messages.’ Read the full review here.
Another gripping read for around this age group (9+) that’s appealing to young readers is Judith Rossell’s gorgeous, illustrated mystery tale, Wormwood Mire. Read our rave review here.
And for those getting in the Christmas spirit early… Pig the Elf is a hilarious picture book for dog lovers, and especially for pug lovers.
