Small Things by Mel Tregonning

The Small Things is a beautiful graphic novel that explores notions of belonging and being different, but without any words. It tells the story of a boy who feels alone with his worries, but who learns that help is always close by. This is an extraordinary story, told simply and with breathtaking beauty.

Sister Heart by Sally Morgan

A young Aboriginal girl is taken from the north of Australia and sent to an institution in the distant south. There, she slowly makes a new life for herself and, in the face of tragedy, finds strength in new friendships. Poignantly told from the child's perspective, Sister Heart affirms the power of family and kinship in an unjust world.

Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George 
(The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy #1)

Galen is a young soldier returning from war; Rose is one of twelve princesses condemned to dance each night for the King Under Stone. Together Galen and Rose will search for a way to break the curse that forces the princesses to dance at the midnight balls. But malevolent forces are working against them, both above and below ground. Captivating from start to finish, Jessica Day George's take on the Grimm's tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, spins this well trod tale into something entirely fresh and new.
