The portrayal of the main characters visual impairment was empowering to read. As well as the gender roles very much being challenged and the sexism brought to light. A Powerful, touching and tragic tale of loss and finding yourself afterwards.

The Boy I Love
The boy I love was a touching although stereotypical forbidden romance. With the two boys having to survive almost two wars; their forbidden love in a world of prejudice and the battles they face on the front lines.

Popcorn
Popcorn was a very good insight into the mind of an anxious child left to function in the school system. Emotional, humourous and nerve-wracking!

This book was am amazing read, I enjoyed it so much! The author really captured the child-like voice and the description was beautiful. It made you feel like you were experiencing life on the island alongside the characters, and was overall incredible.

This book's description was so good and you really made me love the island as much as Tilda does. This such an amazing way to give us an insight of life in a small island. Really hope you win and good luck

Really amazing book you are such a good author and really capture what happens in the real world (unlikely friendships). Well done Tia! My favourite part is when Marnie first enters her classroom and doesn't know who's side to be on! Congratulations on getting nominated, good luck!

Not Going To Plan was a powerful and inspiring book about making your own choice without the worry of who will judge you.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
It was very interesting, and a really good book if you like a non - fiction and fiction mix. It was also quite fun and makes you remember the days when you were in primary school. Personnaly, I think it was quite childish, and there were some puzzling aspects, like france being on a lizards knee or how (spoiler alert!) there are superpowers in a sash. It was nice to read though, and was enjoyable if your into relateable and funny books!

I found this book such an amazing book with a great message. I loved Red's connection to the forest. I also liked how this story came from the authors own experiences and the story of little red riding hood.
I will recommend this to everyone. loved it!
