A character-led teen novel about using scientific curiosity to change everyday habits, while asking how body size, appearance and other people’s attention affect identity.
Russell Freedman
A lively introduction to Franklin’s changing roles, from printer and experimenter to civic organiser and statesman. It presents a broad historical journey supported by period images and reference material, with perseverance and inventive thinking prominent in the portrait.
Mary Fan
This is a high-action fantasy that combines a village threatened by shadow spirits with political marriage, demons, magical technology and a quest. Its strongest appeal is likely its spectacle and dramatic movement rather than sustained inner development.
Stuart Gibbs
This offers a contained lunar mystery with clues, suspects, suspense and humour. Its appeal lies in Dash’s investigation, the unusual space setting and the contrast between boredom, danger and intellectual challenge.
Rutendo Dione
A fast-moving fantasy adventure combines fairy-tale reworking, coding, futuristic inventions and family emotion. Amber’s ordered life is disrupted by a rescue mission, while her father’s past adds a more serious strand.
Frances Hardinge
This is an idea-rich mystery-fantasy about a girl pursuing knowledge and justice within restrictive Victorian expectations.
Sue Macy
This is an energetic life story about curiosity, persistence and widening possibilities, linking sporting achievement, scientific work and exploration with Ride’s later efforts to encourage girls and young women in science and mathematics.
Thomas Canavan
This offers practical discovery rather than a purely explanatory science read: readers test ideas about electricity and magnetism, then connect them with technologies such as musical instruments and space equipment.
Tiffany FitzHenry
This is a speculative romance about identity, reincarnated lives and a consequential choice. Its central tension combines scientific discovery with questions about destiny, attachment and whether personal relationships can carry world-changing consequences.
