Kate Hannigan
A lively historical adventure centred on Nell’s resourcefulness and her relationship with Aunt Kitty. Investigations, disguises, humour and puzzles drive the story, while family mysteries and the realities of loss add emotional weight.
Audrey Couloumbis
This is an adventure about two sisters facing repeated bereavement, separation from familiar homes and an uncertain journey. The sisters’ resourcefulness and choices drive the available premise.
Rumer Godden
A serious, emotionally charged story about a bereaved child facing prejudice, instability and threats to her bond with Joe. It may invite empathy, but its portrayal of rescue and belonging appears partly sentimentalised.
