Our pals across the ditch at Allen & Unwin New Zealand have released some absolutely superb titles over the years. So, we wanted to send them some love by highlighting a variety of their titles we think you should absolutely check out!


 

101 Ways to Find Calm by Rebekah Ballagh

Let’s be honest, in today’s stressful world, the title alone of this one speaks to many of us! From the bestselling author of personal development book Note to Self, with this bite sized book you can learn how to safely feel and process your emotions, rewire your brain and nervous system, and ultimately, deeply connect with yourself.


 

The Raven's Eye Runaways by Claire Mabey


NZ have been publishing some stellar MG works, with the first of two on the list being this beautifully told fantasy quest set in a parallel medieval world. Three friends and a one-eyed raven find themselves up against rulers who restrict writing and reading to an elite few. A book both the adults and kids will love!



 

The Grimmelings by Rachael King


The second of our MG fantasy titles on this list is about Ella, a girl who should have known better than to utter a wish and a curse on the same day. This is a spellbinding middle-grade fantasy adventure of loyalty, courage, and being careful of what you wish for.




Home Truths by Charity Norman


Thriller fans, don’t you worry, our Kiwi pals certainly have you covered! From the Ngaio Marsh-winning author of Remember Me, Charity Normans’ Home Truths centres on Livia Denby who is on trial for attempted murder. But just two years earlier she was part of a rounded out happy family... until the day her brother-in-law died.




The Call by Gavin Strawhan


After surviving a brutal attack, DS Honey Chalmers returns to her hometown to care for her mother. But when a couple of gang enforcers turn up, Honey and old friend Marshall must work together to try and keep a hapless informer out of the hands of those who want her – and Honey – silenced.




Take Two by Danielle Hawkins


From beloved author Danielle Hawkins, this is a brilliant, funny new novel about revisiting your past to find your future. Laura and Doug were together for ages, and their breakup was just one of those things. But, seven years later, a polite social call to his parents, lands Laura back in Doug’s life… which just so happens to be falling apart.



The Last Secret Agent by Pippa Latour with Jude Dobson


For the non-fiction lovers, this is the extraordinary untold story of Pippa Latour, who parachuted into occupied France in 1944 as an undercover agent. For decades, Pippa told no one - not even her family - of her incredible feats during WWII. Now, for the first time, her story can be told in full in this remarkable memoir.
