Rocketing to the top spot this week is the final installment in the thrilling galactic adventure that began with Aurora Rising, we will find out if this band of misfits can actually save the galaxy before time runs out!

Also new to the list is the beautiful First Nations picture book co-written by the legendary Adam Goodes, that teaches children our country was never really ‘terra nullius’, and to understand what ‘welcome to our country’ really means.

Bluey makes a return to the bestseller list with her two very cute new picture books - Sleepytime and Christmas Swim.

It’s wonderful to see Katrina Nannestead’s latest book make its debut on the list. It features a six-year-old boy who loses his family and gets caught up with the army during World War II. It’s such a powerful book for readers aged 10 and up, or as beautiful read-aloud for slightly younger readers.
