A walk in the dark by Jane Godwin.
When five teenagers head in to the forest that late afternoon, none of them is aware what the night will bring. Each will have to draw on their particular strengths to survive. Each will have to face the unknown, battling the elements, events beyond their control, and their own demons. It’s a night that will change everything.
Set in the rainforest of Victoria’s Otway Ranges, A walk in the dark is about friendship, trust, identity and family, consent and boundaries.
Bored, Frog’s mystery twin by Matt Stanton
Sometimes feeling bored is just the beginning.
“My name is Frog and this may have been a very bad idea. I’ve started at this new school and when you’re trying to fit in the best thing you can do is just try something totally crazy! Right? Well, it seemed like a good plan.”
From the million-copy bestselling author of FUNNY KID and THE ODDS comes another story in this laugh-out-loud new series about the complicated business of being a kid.
