Goldfields Girl
In the goldfields in 1892, water is scarce, disease is common and many men will never find the fortune they've come to seek. When she moves to the new outback town of Coolgardie to live with the flies, red dust and rowdy prospectors, fourteen-year-old Clara Saunders is in search of adventure. A friendship with Jack, the cheeky young water carter, is a promising start, but life in the goldfields is harsh and is set to test the limits of Clara's fierce determination.
Graffiti on the Fence
From the award-winning author of Someone Like Me comes this story of Hellz and his skateboarding friends. Their elderly neighbour, Lallie, is the boys' enemy. Or is she? A powerful and moving story about friendship, and big decisions.
Black Jack Anderson
Anderson and his men came in under the stern of HMS Shannon, jammed her rudder and scrambled up her ropes. But the captain had been looking out for them. He had orders to capture Anderson if he came within range, and to take him to Hobart for trial. At pistol point, the captain called on Anderson to surrender. Ruthless, passionate, charismatic and complex. Black Jack Anderson made a living by raiding passing ships off the southwest coast of Australia. The massive African-American was notorious in his lifetime, but this towering figure in Australian history has slowly been forgotten... until now. Elaine Forrestal has written the definitive Australian pirate story - one that will live forever in the memories of all who read it.
Deep Water
'I'm sure I heard it,' I said. 'It's Axle, howling.' 'Axle's gone, Tori.' My uncle shoved his secateurs in the back pocket of his baggy trousers. 'I know it's hard,' he said. 'Especially when we've never found his body.' But Tori has heard a dog howling. Did he imagine it? Is it, as his cousin Bronte believes, Axle's ghost? Or could Axle be alive, after all? Tori sets out to solve the mystery but discovers more than he expected.
Black Earth
'One leg of Bronte's jeans caught fire and she staggered, dropping her precious show saddle from her shoulder. A flame shot up her back. She screamed and fell.' There is tension at Eden Glassie. Tori is torn between spending time with Morgan on the new quad-bike, and Bronte, who wants to ride horses and hates the bike. Meanwhile, the homestead is threatened by a bush-fire and Tori is faced with the unthinkable. This is the third title in The Eden Glassie Mystery series.

Miss Llewellyn-Jones
