The Last Fallen Moon

By Graci Kim

4 stars

The second in the series that weaves the stories and beliefs of Korean mythology into the present day, in a similar way to what Rick Riordan did with Percy Jackson. This book continues Riley's story and we meet some new characters in the spirit realm.
The Bridge Home

By Padma Venkatraman

4 stars

A eye opening look into the poverty and challenges faced by the street children of Chennai in India. It reminded me a little of Lion, but for a younger age group.
All the Beautiful Things

By Katrina Nannestad

5 stars

Emotionally compelling, well researched, beautifully written historical fiction that poses some profound questions.
Storm Dog

By L.M. Elliott

4 stars

The dynamics of the relationships between the protagonist Ariel and a colourful cast of supporting characters, including her apple blossom princess sister, her absent minded lawyer father, a retired army sergeant with PTSD and her sister's boyfriend, Marcus, make this animal story well worth a read.
The Letter with the Golden Stamp

By Onjali Q. Rauf

4 stars

Powerful, challenging book that fits into the realistic genre. For use in the classroom, this book would pose some deep and critical thinking questions, as well as lending itself to a discussion about ethics and moral dilemmas. The age of the protagonist is my key problem with this book - I feel she is just a wee bit too young for this to be truly believable.
The Bletchley Riddle

By Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin

4 stars

Very well researched book that delves into the science of code breaking and the Enigma machines of WW2. There are kids out there who will find this fascinating!
Always Remember

By Charlie Mackesy

5 stars

Absolutely stunning and powerful book. The story and the gorgeous illustrations marry together so beautifully.
Rescue

By Jennifer A. Nielsen

4 stars

Accurate, well researched historical fiction. The plot moves quickly and will keep the reader engaged in the tense, gripping fight for survival. The weaving of codes, cyphers and puzzles into the story adds to the tension of the story.
Amari and the Night Brothers

By B.B. Alston

4 stars

Fast-paced fantasy novel that would appeal to fans of Harry Potter, Keeper of the Lost Cities and Nevermoor.
