Our best-seller from the past week is another fabulous fractured fairytale from actor turned author, Chris Colfer – but this time it’s a graphic novel! Goldilocks: Wanted Dead or Alive is the origin story of outlaw Goldilocks, who we previously met in Colfer’s best selling, Land of Stories series. This latest tale explores Goldilocks’ past with all the charm and misadventure that readers of Colfer have come to expect.
It’s almost an entirely middle grade sweep of the top ten this week, with other books making an appearance on our bestseller list including a classic whodunnit mystery set aboard a grand ocean liner in the 1920s – perfect for fans of A Murder Most Unladylike – and not one, not two, but three wonderful stories set on the cusp of becoming a teenager and all the joy and pain that this precipice holds. For a thoughtful fantasy set during the final days of primary school, Eliza Vanda’s Button Box. And for the long summer beforehand and the beginning of high school, Are You There Buddha and The Edge of Thirteen.
