New YA release from Wombat Books

This warm-hearted, optimistic story by Frances Prentice follows pre-teen Millie who has big, mixed feelings after her baby brother was stillborn… but with friends, family and the school chaplain she just might make it through. Written to acknowledge that siblings of stillborn babies are affected by the experience and to celebrate that stillborn babies remain part of the families who birth them, Always, Your Sister highlights that the storms of life help us appreciate the rainbows more.

Travel memoir with a difference

If you've ever wanted to pull the kids out of school and caravan around this country, read this book first. Jane is juggling the mental load required to wrangle her family away on a trip around rural Australia, but dreaming of fourteen weeks where everyday is Saturday. Raw, luminous and at times hilarious, Travels of a Wimpy Mum is essential reading for anyone muddling out their faith in the relentlessness of family life.

Gorgeous pictures, beautiful message

A beautiful story with a heartfelt message about accepting the newcomer into your circle. The story is set in an adoption / foster care setting and explores the emotions and changes that adopted / foster kids and families may experience.

Family and belonging for very young children

Author Karen Kepert’s message, that everyone is different but special in their own way, supports children's sense of identity and is great for opening discussions about individual differences.

When your teenager says this one of the best books they’ve ever read…

…you should probably take a look. Part of Jenny Glazebrook’s Bateman Family Novels series, Framing Fleur introduces feisty Fleur Lester who doesn’t want to trust anyone, especially not God.

Teen drama, horses and Christian storyline

“I’m a horse crazy girl that absolutely ADORES the Aussie Sky Series! As an Aussie Christian equestrian I’m always on the hunt for good quality christian books that have a spill on horses, romance and God. I have recently given my heart to God and reading the Aussie Sky Series has really helped me with my walk with him.” Discover more by Jenny Glazebrook on Find Australian Christian Books.

Speculative fiction with great values

Author Lynne Stringer’s fast-paced trilogy has twists you don’t see coming.

“A great mix of classic sci-fi and mystery. I loved this YA story, it had me gripped from the beginning and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened.” - Goodreads reviewer

A Tassie-based Australian author writing sci-fi and space opera.

Adam Collings says writing fiction is “a meeting of my creativity with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.” As someone who has been writing since he was a very young child, Adam says that God has given him a gift, which he has enjoyed developing and nurturing. “But I can always create something better with God than by myself,” he says.
