Three Australian YA books feature in last week’s list of bestselling books for young people!
After the Lights Go Out is an action-packed thriller about a family of Doomsday preppers. Told from multiple perspectives, I Am Out With Lanterns is a sophisticated exploration of love, feminism, bullying, family and friendship. And part queer rom-com and part feminist heist – Amelia Westlake is the winner of the 2018 Readings Young Adult Book Prize. You can find out more about this prize here.
Our bestselling children’s books include Shaun Tan’s stunning new picture book (Cicada), the first book in a very funny new junior fiction series about pigeons (Real Pigeons Fight Crime), and a fantastic middle fiction fantasy novel that combines ancient Chinese mythology with a contemporary Australian setting (The Relic of the Blue Dragon).
