It’ll be over by Christmas...
Young Billy Bowman and his mate Jack get caught up in the excitement when war is declared in August 1914 and leave their jobs on the farm to rush off and enlist in the Mounted Rifles—because the war would 'probably be over by Christmas'.
We follow their journey from the Awapuni training camp to more training in the sands of Egypt before they finally get shipped out—without their horses—to fight at Gallipoli. And there they discover that war isn’t the big adventure they thought it would be.

Many books have been written about the battles of Gallipoli; the men who went to war and what they faced, the letters, and the tears of those left behind. But this is a book about Gallipoli—the place—and what happened on Gallipoli Beach from April–December 1915.
With beautiful, painterly illustrations by Bruce Whatley, this book explores the beach where the battles took place. In focusing on the actual place of war, the book also examines many other aspects of WWI, from the soldiers and the conditions they fought in, to the civilians at home.
This is more than a book about the Anzacs; this is a book about and for all of the nationalities who fought at that cove, no matter what side they were on.

Mel and her cousin Harriet couldn't bear the thought of brave Kiwi boys being cared for by some bumbling, poorly trained person while the Great War raged on, half a world away.
When these nurses joined the NZ Army Nursing Service and boarded ships headed for Egypt, Anzac Cove and beyond, they had little idea of the horrors they would face, the wounds they would tend to and hearts they would help heal.

Maria Andzelm was a Catholic teenager growing up in Nazi-occupied Poland. One by one, her Jewish friends and neighbours were hauled away to undisclosed locations, never to be seen or heard from again. Then Maria’s family took in two Jewish men. They hid them in a box underneath the floor of their barn. Every day, Maria brought them food to satisfy their stomachs and books to feed their minds. She did this every day for two years–and paid a terrible price.
Read Maria’s stirring story as well as the gripping accounts of five other teenagers who willingly put their lives in jeopardy for the sake of saving Jews during World War II.

Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow.
Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory — a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List.
This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling.
The Boy on the Wooden Box
is a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.
