Brandon Mull
This offers energetic fantasy adventure, imaginative magical abilities and a friendship group facing escalating challenges. Its tone appears playful as well as perilous, with candy-based humour alongside imprisonment, manipulation and attempts to control young characters.
Dana Reinhardt
This is a coming-of-age story about an adopted teenager unexpectedly confronting her origins. It combines family questions with school relationships, sexuality, belief, illness and emotionally difficult family circumstances, while presenting Simone’s perspective as humorous, searching and sometimes self-absorbed.
Gillian Johnson
This is a rhyming picture-book story about an established dog adjusting to an older rescue dog who is not the companion he expected. It combines comic characterisation with ideas about patience, family and care.
Peter Bunzl
A magical historical-fantasy adventure about identity, family and friendship, with mysteries uncovered through flashbacks. Expect spells, Fairyland, talking animals, shapeshifting and a curse rather than a realistic everyday setting.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes
A suspenseful wilderness search story that combines missing children, search-and-rescue work and questions about belonging. Kira’s unusual past gives the investigation a strongly personal and emotionally unsettled focus.
Robin Benway
A relationship-focused novel about three separated biological siblings negotiating adoption, foster care, pregnancy, family secrets and the question of where they belong.
