Cormac McCarthy's The Road - A Graphic Novel Adaptation

By Manu Larcenet

5 stars

Grim, but a superb adaptation.
Hine and the Tohunga Portal

By Ataria Sharman

4 stars

Another enjoyable fantasy novel. Things move quickly and I wondered at times if it would have been worth slowing things down and stretching things out to a trilogy. There's plenty of world and adventure here to explore; I can easily see a sequel and return. A great story for younger readers and immersive in te reo and tikanga Māori.
Falling Into Rarohenga

By Steph Matuku

4 stars

I picked this up again having dropped it at the start of term. (Knocked 25 pages off the total, for those out there who are counting!) Well paced, engaging characters, great world building, a really good Maori fantasy novel. We've ordered a class set. Looking forward to Flight of the Fantail next.
The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians

By James Patterson & Matt Eversmann

3 stars

Almost. I've grown a bit cynical about the virtue we assign to reading and was looking for something to rekindle the passion. Francis Spufford's The Child That Books Built worked for me, this one not so much. There are some nice moments here, though, and I love their passion.
