Book Week Winners Announced!
The Australian Children’s Book Week winners were announced today and the winner in the category of books for older readers is…. (drum roll please)
THE GHOST’S CHILD by SONYA HARTNETT
About the book:
The sky was pitch, and gashed by lightning; loutish waves rose and slumped heavily as mudslides. At a moment when she was filled with desperation, Maddy opened her mouth and yelled for Feather. And half-expected him to appear, because she wanted him to so much.
Maddy yearns for her life to be mystifying, to be as magical as a fairy story. And then one day, on the beach, she meets the strangest young man she has ever seen.
The Ghost’s Child is an enchanting fable about the worth of life, and the power of love. (from Penguin Australia)
The Ghost’s Child is available at Mosman Library
