Queen of the Night by Leanne Hall
"Strong book. ... The weird urban landscape was original." - James Moloney
"It was really good! ... It made my top 5" - Joe
"I loved 'This is Shyness', and I didn't know if she could do it again...but Hall blew me away with 'Queen of the Night' " - Danielle Binks
A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (Art by Jim Kay)
"This book, right here – is stunning. The artwork. The story. The story behind the story with Patrick Ness and Siobhan Dowd. The whole thing just lodged in my heart and I’m so glad for having read it." - Danielle Binks
"As soon as I got the package, I read the book. One day was all it took because it was so amazing." - Nicole
