Big River Little Fish, Belinda Jeffrey

From the moment Tom Downs was born backwards - the moment of his mother's death - time has held him the wrong way round, like he's caught inside a fractured story.

But the thing about Tom's town flooding, and the thing that takes him by suprise is not what Old Mother Murray takes away, but who she brings back.

The compelling and highly anticipated novel from Belinda Jeffrey, author of Brown Skin Blue.

Girl Saves Boy, Steph Bowe

The first time we met, Jewel Valentine saved my life. Isn’t it enough having your very own terminal disease, without your mother dying? Or your father dating your Art teacher? No wonder Sacha Thomas ends up in the lake that Saturday evening…But the real question is: how does he end up in love with Jewel Valentine?

With the help of quirky teenage prodigies Little Al and True Grisham, Sacha and Jewel have a crazy adventure, with a little lobster emancipation along the way. But Sacha’s running out of time, and Jewel has secrets of her own. Girl Saves Boy is a hugely talented debut novel, funny and sad, silly and wise. It’s a story of life, death, love… and garden gnomes.

Signed copies available at the Younger Sun now!
