Adam Goodes again takes out the top spot on our bestseller list with a beautiful picture book explaining terra nullius to young children. This book has been dominating our charts since its first release in November last year!

We have two young adult titles on the list this week: a fantasy novel narrated from the perspective of monsters by local author, Vanessa Len, and our YA Book of the Month, historical fiction set at the start of the Romanian revolution during the late eighties. Both excellent titles will keep you engrossed till late in the night!

A couple of February releases for younger readers are also proving favourites! Comedian Adam Hills’ heist story featuring two young TikTok stars is a lot of fun for readers aged 8 and up, and we also have a mystery adventure story about orphan Bastien Bonlivre.

Two of our favourite non-fiction titles from the last few months have made it onto the list, with the beautiful book by author and illustrator Ben Hoare in ninth position and the specially priced book that is a companion to the TV series of the same name - Our Planet - rounding out our list this week.
