Littlies would love Alison Lester and Jane Godwin’s summery picture book, a Christmassy Bluey tale or Oliver Jeffers’s gorgeously illustrated family story.

Independent readers who love to laugh would lap up the latest Treehouse saga, a war-time caper from David Walliams or the inimitable Dav Pilkey’s unique introduction to comic making. Enthusiastic young readers aged 9 and up will find much pleasure with Amelia Mellor’s magical book set in a Melbourne icon, or award-winning Katrina Nannestad’s gripping story of wartime survival.

And if you know a teen in need of a page-turning read, then you really cannot go wrong with bestselling thriller author Karen M. McManus’s summertime family mystery.
