Are young readers and families yearning for the great outdoors at the moment? It seems so, if our kids & YA bestsellers are any indication! Bluey takes us to the creek, the beach and places closer to home, Trace Balla weaves a gentle story among the flora and fauna of Victoria’s goldfields country, and park life comes to us in the form of crime-fighting pigeons and everyone’s favourite scavenger, the ibis.

Other books that have proved popular this week are David Walliams’s latest and slimiest concoction, a moving Australian debut set during the time of the Kosovo war, and a heartfelt tale of thwarted Olympic ambitions.
