“Like a tiny turtle in fancy dress—a red polka-dot coat that’s hiding a secret.”

As they walk, a young girl describes the things she sees to an elderly, visually impaired man, who turns the tables when he describes to the child what it is that he hears.

SALES POINTS:

• Tania Norfolk’s evocative, imaginative language makes this story sing, and demonstrates to children how to be creative in their own descriptions.

• This beautifully told story contains themes of friendship, self-expression and appreciating others’ differences—and the joy that can be gained from sharing, whether it be experiences ... or strawberries.

• Aleksandra Szmidt’s quirky, imaginative illustrations are full of exquisite textures and colours .

Cyclone Bola was one of the costliest cyclones in the history of New Zealand. When Amy’s parents decide to go and sail a yacht back to NZ from Vanuatu, Amy is sent to stay with her great uncle and aunt on a vineyard near Gisborne. When reports of Bola start coming through, Amy’s initial worry is for her parents ... then the cyclone moves closer and strikes the East Coast of NZ with devastating effects.

SALES POINTS:

• Until Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023, Cyclone Bola, which flattened the Gisborne region in 1988 (wiping out orchards, vineyards and farmland), had been the most destructive cyclone in 93 years of rainfall records in NZ, with estimated costs to horticulture of over $90 million. Its devastation will be chillingly familiar to those currently facing the clean-up after Gabrielle.

• Beattie weaves a compelling story in which the reader is drawn into first sharing Amy’s concern for her parents, then for herself and her family as Bola takes hold.

• My NZ Story is a popular ‘factional’ series of diaries written by a fictional child of the time, making history come alive.

• Includes a useful Historical Note and a section of photos showing the destruction left in the cyclone’s wake.

Today is the day Jo Monarch has been wishing on the moon about her entire life. It’s the day of the Lineup, when she could be selected to leave her life in the Ashes behind. The day she could move across the mountains to a glittering, rich future. Once Jo is plucked from the Lineup, the real test begins. She still needs to impress the New Georgia Reps at tonight’s Gala, and her path forward leads straight to Cove Wells. The damaged stepson of one of the Reps, Cove has been groomed as an emotional weapon, taught that love is a tool—and he’s set on breaking Jo’s heart next. When a riot breaks out back in the Ashes the night of the Gala, Jo’s dreams might all go up in smoke. Can she really have everything she’s ever wished for… when it means leaving all her loved ones behind in the fire?

Twelve-year-old Maia’s parents say she’s lucky she noticed something as early as she did. Lucky to have smelled the smoke, lucky to have pulled her sister, Amelia, out of their burning house. But is it really “lucky” when Amelia’s stuck in the hospital, covered in burns? And is it “lucky” when Maia knows it was her candle, left unattended, that started the fire in the first place? When she’s sent to spend the summer with her grandparents in Northern Minnesota while her sister heals, Maia discovers that her anxieties and demons are intent on following her wherever she goes… unless she can figure out how to overcome them. But what if she can’t? Maia barely knows her grandparents, she desperately misses her sister and home, and she’s not thrilled to be spending the summer with Grandpa Howard on his daily motorcycle rides out to the middle of the woods, where he spends all day keeping watch for forest fires. There are no kids her age in Gram and Pop’s small town at “the end of the road”—just the chatty nine-year-old neighbour who is intent on getting his Bear Scout badge at all costs, and a friendly, stray dog who’s been lurking around. But Maia will soon learn that nature is a powerful teacher, and sometimes our greatest strengths show themselves when we have to be there for someone else. As she begins to figure out how to face her guilt and paralyzing fears, she’ll discover there’s a fine line between fear and adventure. And when danger strikes again, Maia must summon all her bravery and overcome her self-doubt if she wants to save those she loves most.

Declan Taylor is furious at the world. After winning state as a freshman starting pitcher, he accidentally messes up his throwing arm. Despite painful surgery and brutal physical therapy, he might never pitch again. And instead of spending the summer with his friends, Declan is forced to get a job to help his family out. On top of that, it seems like his best friend, Jake Lehrer, is flirting with Declan’s crush and always ditching him to hang out with the team or his friends from synagogue. So Declan ends up playing a lot of Imperialist Empires online and making new friends. It’s there he realises he’s been playing with Finn, a kid from his class. Finn is the first person who might be just as angry as Declan. As the two spend more time together, Finn also introduces Declan to others who understand what it’s like when the world is working against you, no matter how much you try. How white kids like them are being denied opportunities because others are manipulating the system. And the more time Declan spends with Finn, the more he sees what they’re saying as true. So when his new friends decide it’s time to fight back, Declan is right there with them. Even if it means going after Jake and his family. And each new battle for the cause makes Declan feel in control of his rage, channeling it into saving his future. But when things turn deadly, Declan is going to have to decide just how far he’ll go and what he’s willing to sacrifice. In a stunning story set against the rise of white nationalism comes an unflinching exploration of the destruction of hate, the power of fear, and the hope of redemption.

SALES POINTS:

• This is American History X meets White American Youth by Christopher Picciolini.

• A hard-hitting exploration of teens and white supremacy unlike any other story out there.

• As a Jewish woman whose family has dealt with anti-Semitism both during the Holocaust and in the generations since, Sarah brings her own personal lens and experience to this story.

• Unfortunately this topic is all too timely and there haven’t been many recent YA books examining this from a contemporary angle.

• This is very much a story of redemption and not one that glamorises.
