Our bestseller for kids and teens this week is Atmospheric from Australian author Carole Wilkinson (best known for her award-winning Dragonkeeper series). Wilkinson is a member of a climate action group in Melbourne and her latest release is a non-fiction book on climate science for readers 10+. Our reviewer calls it “well researched and highly readable”. Read the full review here.
Also included in our bestsellers list is the new YA novel from Rainbow Rowell, which has been much anticipated here at Readings. Our reviewer writes: “I laughed, I cried; the book is simply, utterly, delightful. Being a quick reader is usually a blessing but Carry On turned out to be one of those rare cases where I regretted reaching that final page so soon.” Read the full review here.
Other bestsellers included: David Walliams’s very funny read for 8+, Grandpa’s Great Escape; the gorgeous illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone; Shaun Tan’s book of fairytale-inspired sculptures, The Singing Bones; and, a mini-edition of Tai Snaith’s picture book The Family Hour in Australia. (That last one makes a sweet stocking filler for all you early Christmas shoppers…)
