Best Picture Book
Duck, Death and the Tulip by Wolf Erlbruch
Some stories you just fall in love with! A beautifully evocative portrayal of life.
Best Junior Fiction
Jack Lasenby’s Aunt Effie stories
Jolly good Kiwi fun! Good read-alouds too.
Best Young Adult Fiction
Clockwork or all wound up by Philip Pullman
A gripping thriller as fine as any Poe. Not just a teenage read.

Gotz and Meyer by David Albahari
A heart-rending and tragic tale about one man’s struggle to come to terms with the annihilation of his identity by the Nazis

A continent on the move: New Zealand geosciences in the 21st century ed. By Ian Graham
A book to dip into. Fab for anyone interested in the forces that shaped and continue to shape our land. Authoritative yet easy to read, with a wealth of information and illustrations. I went out and bought it!
