For the second week in a row our top spot goes to the latest instalment in the hilariously brilliant Treehouse series. A new arrival, and rocketing to the second spot, is the latest Wimpy Kid book. We’re now up to number 16 in the series!

Some strong non-fiction for kids is still on the list, with the fantastic book by scientist Corey Tutt that explores the scientific knowledge of First Australians and Sami Bayley’s book on diverse animals that form symbiotic relationships still going strong.

It was Halloween yesterday, so it’s no surprise that Oliver Jeffers’ spooky ghost story set in a haunted house has been a popular choice to celebrate the occasion.

Young adult novels, including Mark Smith’s novel on climate activism and Rick Riordan’s latest adventure, set under the sea have also been popular picks for readers!
