The Rebels of Mount Buffalo by Helen Edwards
It's 1998 and Clara and her parents are staying at the Mount Buffalo Chalet for the centenary celebrations.
It couldn't be more different from their last visit-they were a family of four then.
With her twin Darius gone, Clara has no reference point anymore, no guide. It's like being lost in the bush without a compass.
Without him, she doesn't really know who she is.
Bringing in themes of early feminism and issues such as bullying, never being a bystander, managing grief and finding your courage, this engaging middle grade timeslip story draws on the true history of Mount Buffalo and the incredible role the Manfield family-and Guide Alice in particular-played in the preservation of the National Park and the development of tourism in the Mount Buffalo region.
Indigo in the Storm by Kate Gordon
"We are the storm and the stillness."
Indigo Michael isn’t like other kids. And her mum isn’t like other mums.
Life for people like them isn’t meant to have meaning—it’s just something
to be survived in whatever way you can.
When her mum abandons her, Aster’s Aunt Noni becomes her foster parent.
Suddenly Indigo has a new ‘family’—one she didn’t ask for and isn’t even sure she
wants. Then she meets Liam. He graffitis revolutionary words across the world,
words that make Indigo want to run towards something, build something, be
something. For the first time in a long time, Indigo feels she has made a genuine
friend, which makes it even harder when that friendship is betrayed …
This poignant companion novel to the CBCA Award winning
Aster’s Good, Right Things explores the different shapes of friendship and family,
and how a lonely girl learns what it means to truly belong.
Whalesong by Kate Gordon
"There is no now and no then, only in between and always.
Open the box. Come and see."
Aberdeen Knopwood wants to make a difference - to help save the planet and express the passion for the environment that burns underneath her skin. But how can a girl who is too scared to stand out actually do something meaningful?
Aberdeen's family has been woven into the fabric of Hobart for generations. When her journalist father gifts her an antique chronometer, it leads her to another girl who also knows and loves Hobart. But the Hobart this girl knows is very different to the one Aberdeen grew up in - a newer Hobart, where the stone buildings aren't yet mellowed to soft golds, sea shanties echo from tall sailing ships, and men armed with harpoons hunt whales in the harbour.
This girl knows something that Aberdeen is yet to discover: one person really can make a difference.
CBCA Award-winning author Kate Gordon invites you to walk the cobbled streets of Hobart in the early 19th century, exploring our desire to change our world for the better, and the enduring legacy--both good and bad--of those who came before...
