🌟 THE MIDWATCH INSTITUTE FOR WAYWARD GIRLS (US)
‘Cinematic, amusing, and exciting: a slightly subversive, delightfully empowering, all-around winner.’
– Kirkus starred review

🌟 WE SAW WHAT YOU STARTED
‘Lovers of the ocean who relish thrilling mysteries sprinkled with a little real-life infatuation will surf delightedly through this tale that touches on fitting in, self-esteem, friendship and that awful human trait, jealousy. A ripping coming-of-age-tale with plenty of high-octane buzz, We Saw What You Started, is a dinky-di winner.
– Kids Book Review

🌟 SPUD AND SNOWBALL AND THE FANCY FISH
‘Bursting with bold, amusing illustrations, expressive characters and a highly visual use of text … a great choice for emerging readers who enjoy animated animals and comic book-style comedy.’
– Books+Publishing

🌟 NIGHTSONG (US)
‘Sonorous sentences and compelling images capture the enchantment of a natural nocturnal setting and a child’s wonder at experiencing it through multiple senses—perhaps for the first time. Mesmerizing—and sure to inspire listeners to attend to the symphonies in their own environments.’
– Kirkus Reviews

🌟 TUBOWGULE: A SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE HISTORY
‘This is the well-researched and plainly written story of the location that is now known as the home of the (Opera) House, but was, of course, home to many other people and properties across time... an impressive contribution to bringing the histories of Australia to a new generation of young readers.'
