This is a compact, straightforward adventure about caring for wildlife when family work and personal convictions pull in different directions. Mystery and pursuit keep the story moving, while Maya’s choices centre responsibility, trust and competing needs.
Cece Meng
A quiet picture-book story about death, grief and remembering. Old Turtle’s friends each recall how he affected their lives, giving the book a shared, memory-based response to bereavement rather than an account of religious belief.

Alex Milway
This is an outdoor adventure about a child investigating her grandmother’s disappearance, helping eagles in difficulty and discovering a stronger sense of belonging in the mountain community.
