NEW RELEASES:

The Travelling Bookshop 6 - Mim and the Mother Muddle

Mim Cohen roams the world in a travelling bookshop, with her dad and brother and a horse called Flossy.

Flossy leads them where she will, to the place where they're needed most ... the place where the perfect book will find its way home.

Now Mim has arrived in Salzburg -- the town of Mozart and mountains, gardens and castles, Sacher torte and sausages ... and Mum!

Mim knows they're here to help Mum recover from the bump to her head. To show her love and patience. To remind her who she is.

If only they could find Mum the right book. If only Dad would stop giving everyone the same silly book.

All the Beautiful Things

A new heart-wrenching, impeccably researched historical novel for middle-grade readers.

The Nazis want everyone to be the same. If you're different, you don't belong.

Not belonging is dangerous ...

Anna's little sister, Eva, is frail and needs time to learn new things. She has a huge heart and a gift for loving, but Hitler doesn't value such riches. And so she's hidden away. Safe for now, but with the threat of discovery always near.

Anna does her best to bring joy and light to Eva's small life with stories, trinkets and treasures from the outside world. But soon, more children need hiding. Risks are taken - by Anna, by her best friend Udo, by a Nazi seamstress and feisty Brunhilde. Until Anna wonders if any of them will make it through the war ...

Loyalty and love. Family and friendship. Understanding and tolerance. Right and wrong. Multi-award-winning Australian author Katrina Nannestad explores it all in this thrilling and powerful historical novel.
