Citizen Lord

By Stella Tillyard

5 stars

The story of Irish revolutionary Lord Edward Fitzgerald. Fascinating and well-written, this reads as a novel with three narrative strands - his journey from peer to revolutionary, his private life, and his friendship with a runaway slave who saved his life.
Stuff I Forgot To Tell My Daughter

By Michele A'Court

3 stars
Wrestling with the Angel

By Michael King

A meticulously researched biography of Janet Frame.
Holding the ACEs

By Glenn Colquhoun

5 stars

A powerful essay looking at adverse childhood events (ACE) and how our young people can carry trauma for years. Colquhoun suggests that this is the most urgent health issue in the country.
The Assignment

By Liza Wiemer

4 stars

Similar to 'The Wave' but with more emphasis on teenage relationships. It reminds us that both students and teachers have choices - and that as teachers we must model careful, thoughtful decision-making.
Letters to Young People

By Glenn Colquhoun

5 stars

A poignant series of letters written in poetry form from Colquhoun to his various young clients. It is clear that he really understands these kids and feels their 'issues'. To each, he offers empathy and hope. Every teacher should read these!
No Friend But The Mountains

By Behrouz Boochani

4 stars

Gruelling at times, uplifting at others. Beautifully written - at times with a captivating rhythm. A real eye opener as to the plight of far too many around the world.
