The Outrage

By William Hussey

4 stars

This dystopian YA novels imagines an England ruled by “The Protectorate”, a dictatorial conservative government that controls every aspect of citizens’, and has criminalised “degenerative” behaviour. LGBTTQIA+ people, now known as “degens” are sent to reprogramming camps for conversion or worse. The story folllows two boys who fall in love despite everything, and fight for change even though it may mean losing everything.
The Girl with the Green Ear

By Margaret Mahy

5 stars

I remember these stories from childhood and might use them as an intro to language features for juniors or level 1.
The Sparrow

By Tessa Duder

4 stars

A fascinating account of the early days of Auckland’s colonial settlement, told through the eyes of Harriet, a young escaped convict girl.
How it Feels to Float

By Helena Fox

3 stars

This was a really interesting exploration of young adult mental health, told from the inside. The writing was very poetic and descriptive but the fragmented writing style and repetitive phrasing, which would have worked well in a short story or narrative poem, got a bit much in novel format.
No Turning Back

By Sam Blake

4 stars
Cemetery Boys

By Aiden Thomas

4 stars
In Deep Water

By Sam Blake

4 stars

A solid second book in the trilogy. The references to autism were a bit stereotypical and outdated but otherwise a great read.
Little Bones

By Sam Blake

4 stars

This is the first of a trilogy following Detective Garda Cathy Connolly, part of a team solving the mystery of a baby's bones found sewn into the lining of an old wedding dress. The book has several storylines that seem initially unrelated, until Blake skillfully pulls them together. The book kept me guessing most of the way through about the main mystery, although there were a few other things I saw coming. I love books set in Ireland, complex mysteries, and strong female protagonists, and this really delivered!
