FICTION Category Runner-up

Frankie Parsons is twelve going on old man : an apparently sensible, talented Year 8 with a drumbeat of worrying questions steadily gaining volume in his head.
'Does the cat, and therefore the rest of the family, have worms?'
'Will bird flu strike and ruin life as we know it?'
'Is the kidney-shaped spot on his chest actually a
galloping cancer?'

Most of the significant people in Frankie’s world – his father, his brother and sister, his great-aunts, his best friend Gigs – seem gloriously untroubled by worry.
Only Ma takes seriously his catalogue of persistent anxieties; only Ma listens patiently to his 10 p.m. queries.
But of course, it is Ma who is the cause of the most worrying question of all, the one that Frankie can never bring himself to ask.

Paperback
Author: Vincent Ford
The first in an exciting trilogy set in an ancient time, when humans were few and survival required a fighting spirit.
It is a time of drought for the People of the Canyon and Trei convinces his father to attempt a bison hunt, a risky undertaking with their simple wooden spears. When the hunt ends in tragedy, Trei and his twin sister, Souk secretly decide to travel north. They have heard of a tribe who can throw a spear like a lightning bolt. But first they must escape their people, then begin a perilous journey north to the territory of the Manhunters.

But why...Tane and Rebecca follow the message’s cryptic instructions, but it’s not long before they begin to suspect the worst --that the very survival of the human race may be at stake!

Juno of Taris order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 18.99 each
Paperback
Author: Fleur Beale
Juno, a young teen on the verge of adulthood, struggles with her need to fit in and belong and her growing discomfort and questioning of her society's rules. Juno lives in the not-too-distant future on Taris, a bubble-covered island in the Pacific, to which a few hundred people fled when Earth's inhabitants began to self-destruct.
On Taris rules govern everything from appearance, behaviour and even procreation to ensure the survival of humankind.
Juno of Taris examines many themes, peer pressure, environmental breakdown, the fictionalization of history, societal control and challenging authority. It is a thoroughly good read from one of our very best writers for young adults.

Paperback
Author: Maurice Gee
Gool is the sequel to Salt. Sixteen years have passed since Pearl from Company and Hari from Blood Burrow defeated the tyrant Ottmar. Now their children, Xantee and Lo, face an even more dangerous foe. Hari lies dangerously ill with a fragment of a strange creature wrapped around his throat, draining his life. The beast is called Gool, meaning Unbelonger. It is one of many, destroying the mountains and jungles of the world. Somewhere a hidden mother nourishes her gool brood - the children must find and destroy her to save Hari and the world they know. Xantee and Lo, accompanied by Duro, a brave and practical youth who is also a 'speaker', set out on a dangerous mission that takes them through jungles and over mountains to the ruined city, and on to Ceebeedee, where a terrifying clash with the cruel rival leaders and lurking gool awaits them.
