Narinder Dhami
A family-and-school story about three sisters balancing wedding preparations, a romantic bet and an attempt to support a new pupil dealing with bereavement. It also offers Indian-British family and cultural context, with bhangra music central to one arrangement.
Marsha Warner
Expect a light, ensemble relationship story built around dates, ex-partners, social events and competing responsibilities. It also gives readers access to characters’ thoughts and motivations beyond what a television episode could show.
Barry Jonsberg
This is a character-led story about a teenager’s self-image and changing relationships, set alongside Cassie’s disability and her family’s circumstances. Its several viewpoints invite readers to consider how people’s inner lives may differ from what others can see.
James Goodhand
This is a high-stakes school thriller centred on a student’s planned revenge with an explosive device. Its central appeal is likely suspense, while its subject matter invites reflection on bullying and changed identity.
Jasbinder Bilan
A myth-rich adventure that joins friendship, cultural detail and care for the natural world. Its imaginative journey gives children an active role in responding to environmental damage.
Sarah Hagger-Holt
A family-change story told through Izzy’s worries about her father, school, friendships and shifting family roles. It offers a child-centred route into gender identity, loyalty and uncertainty, with conflict eventually moving towards greater understanding.
Riel Nason
A reflective story about a young person navigating embarrassment, family responsibilities and first love while her community faces forced relocation. Expect character-focused writing, social tension and a strong sense of place rather than constant action.
V. E. Schwab
A school-set story about bullying, friendship and second chances, viewed through Aria’s supernatural role. Its central tension asks readers to hold Caroline’s suffering alongside the possibility that Lily’s cruelty has a story behind it.
Sue Stauffacher
