Last week’s top selling book for young readers is Rick Yancey’s YA dystopian thriller, The 5th Wave, which has recently been adapted for the screen. The film is due to hit Australian screens this month, and looks appropriately terrifying.
Other bestselling books include Aaron Blabey’s first two books in his very funny junior fiction series (The Bad Guys: Episode 1 and The Bad Guys Episode 2: Mission Unpluckable), as well as Shaun Tan’s stunning book of reimagined Grimm’s fairy tales (The Singing Bones).
Adam Spencer’s Enormous Book of Numbers is also back in stock, and packed with ‘mind-boggling maths, outrageous puzzles, super-cool games’ and more to keep the kids busy. Find more ideas for busting boredom these school holidays here.
