The Book of the Dun Cow

By Walter Wangerin Jr

4 stars

It took me quite a while to warm to this story, but it grew on me.
Nine Girls

By Stacy Gregg

5 stars

A fascinating sort of autography from a prolific author of younger readers. The empathetic description of the main character's friend's leukemia journey is the highlight of the book for me.
The Chocolate Maker's Wife

By Karen Brooks

5 stars

A brilliant book about the life and times of London in 1663 to 1666. So many fascinating insights in the introducing of chocolate to the English. The plot weaves seamlessly through the historical events of the plague outbreak and the devastating fire in London. Characters are so real life you feel you know them intimately now.
Crazy Weird! Weirdo #6

By Anh Do

4 stars

Another entertaining read for the grandkids - 4 and 7 year old.
A secret garden in Paris

By Sophie Beaumont

5 stars

A most enjoyable book. Each of the characters are well rounded and relatable. The information about the gardens of Paris makes me want to go there and explore them A really uplifting story with interesting twists and turns. The colours and significance of different flowers made me look at them anew with even more appreciation of their beauty and fragrance and how they make people feel. I would love to have my garden resemblie any of the ones in the book :)
Weir Do 5 Totally Weird

By Anh Do

4 stars

A wonderful story about the value of team work. Easy to relate principles to family life for 4 and 7 year olds.
Peppa´s Dinosaur Party

By Penguin Rankin House

Very imaginative. Embarressing to be corrected on dinosaur name pronunciation by 7 year old grandson :)

A great book to teach four and seven year olds about diversity and compassion.

Weirdo

By Anh Do

5 stars

A great introduction to the series my 7 year old grandson enjoy to hear, although he reads them himself too and knows when I accidentally turn over two pages at a time :(
Molly the Pirate

By Lorraine Teece

5 stars

Another delightful read for my 4 year old granddaughter by an aboriginal Australian author. I loved reading it.
Santa´s Crazy Christmas

By Colin Buchanan

5 stars

My four year old granddaughter delighted in this book, we have read it three time already and the holidays are not over yet ...
Migration

By Steph Matuku

5 stars

A fascinatiing futuristic adventure story. The Maori words and concepts weaved into the plot feel authentic. The story kept me entertained and I marvelled at the imagined world of learning and fighting. The end is as unusual as the beginning. I found it really worthwhile and would recommend it to any students.
Cloudstreet

By Tim Winton

4 stars

Very interesting dialogue and writing - a fascinating Australian perspective.
