Katie only meets her Grandmother Mary for the first time when she is seventeen and by that point Mary is almost completely lost to dementia. And as her only living relatives, Katie’s small broken family are forced to care for her. Katie can see something in her — a spark that she’s missing in her own life — but her mother Caroline — Mary’s own daughter — hates her. But why? As time goes on snippets of Mary’s life are revealed to Katie during her brief moments of lucidity and a long kept family secret is at last revealed. Unbecoming celebrates life in a way no other book has done before. The difficulties of dealing with dementia are expertly placed alongside teenage angst and single motherhood and though many issues are tackled this is not an issue book, it is a book to love. Unbecoming

The timeless tale of four sisters–Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth–experiencing hardship and adventure in Civil War New England.

Though the March family may be poor, their lives are rich with colour, as they play games, put on wild theatricals, make new friends, argue, grapple with their vices, learn from their mistakes, nurse each other through sickness and disappointments, and get into all sorts of trouble.

In this simple, enthralling tale, Louisa May Alcott created four of American literature's most beloved 'little women'. Little Women

As a boy, David Cox lived in the dusty outback on a sheep station. His lessons came in a brown envelope from the Correspondence School, but out of doors his father was his teacher. David learned the stockman's skills of riding horses and mustering sheep and cattle; and when they were out riding his father would tell stories about old times. Sometimes they would repair stockyards or fences, and when the job was done his father would step back and say, 'Well, it's good enough for a sheep station.'

David Cox concludes the moving story of his country childhood that began with The Road to Goonong and continued with The Fair Dinkum War. GOOD ENOUGH FOR A SHEEP STATIO

Simone is twelve. When her new teacher mistakes her for a boy called Simon, the trouble really begins — and it doesn't stop!

All sorts of things start to go wrong, like lost dogs and ducks in the classroom and stolen handbags... Simone is constantly getting into trouble, even though she doesn't mean to (most of the time).

Fruitloops and Dipsticks is a laugh-out-loud coming-of-age novel about a tough (but sensitive) girl (who's pretending to be a boy) who comes to accept her family's — and her own-eccentricities, and learns a lot about life and love along the way. Fruitloops & Dipsticks

Razaq Nadeem lives in the tribal area of Kala Dhaka, known as Black Mountain, in Pakistan. When an earthquake strikes the area, and his family is lost, Razaq is told by his dying father to flee to Rawalpindi, where his uncle Kamil lives. In the aftermath of the quake, all is chaos. Razaq attends a school set up by aid workers for the homeless, learns some English and helps with the younger boys. But danger is around every corner. Razaq is sold into slavery by a man preying on orphans in the area, and desperate to escape the virtual imprisonment of washing dishes in a teashop for no wages, he heads for the streets, only to be betrayed and returned. Razaq's unusual and exotic looks attract the attention of a customer at the teashop, with disastrous results. Sold once more, he must watch as tahira, a girl he becomes fond of, is sold to a rich man. Razaq and tahira meet again, but despair of their fate as they grow older. A way out is eventually offered by Majeed, a social worker, but only after a hair-raising escape. From the author of Marrying Ameera comes another powerful and confronting book that deals with social justice for disenfranchised young people who have no voice or power as they are bartered and sold for sex.
