Okay, here it is, from the web site, but
here's the link if you want it for more general browsing: http://cbca.org.au/
Which of them have I read? Not a lot this year. I meant to
read the Dubosarsky one, but was sidetracked. I did read the first Ishmael book
and very funny it was too, hope this one is as good! The McGahan book was one
of the manuscripts Allen and Unwin sent my school last year for the book club
students to read, but all I had time to do was hand them out, so - not that one
either. I've read Crow Country and Brotherband, both of which I enjoyed very
much. The Kate Constable book is doing very well in my library by word of mouth
- the Year 7 and 8 girls are recommending it to each other, along with Cicada
Summer. The boys are reading her Chanters of Tremaris books, but not these
ones. Oddly, I haven't been able to "sell" Brotherband, although the
Ranger's Apprentice series is very popular, or has been in the past.
We do have Fromelles but nobody seems to have read it yet,
including me (embarrassed squeak!). Time to go hunting at my local Reading's
and see what I can pick up for myself, no time to go shopping for the library
till I get back. And I don't know if I can get a student reader to help me this
year, we'll have to see. The Older Reader titles don't look like their cup of
tea. Better go see if they're mine. ;-)
