Who's Afraid? by Maria Lewis Meet Tommi Grayson: she's all bark ... and all bite. 'It was like my wolf had been there all along, waiting for me to tap its hand and step into the ring ...' Tommi Grayson's never exactly been a normal girl. Bright blue hair, a mysterious past and barely controlled rage issues have a way of making a woman stand out. Yet she's never come close to guessing who she really is ... When her mother dies, a shattered Tommi decides to track down her estranged father. Leaving Scotland for a remote corner of New Zealand, she discovers the truth of her heritage - and it's a whole lot more than merely human. Barely escaping with her life, now Tommi must return to her friends, pretending everything is normal, while all too aware of the dangers lurking outside - and within. Worse still, something has followed her home ... With the clock ticking, can Tommi learn to control her new powers in time to save the ones she loves?

Only the Empty Sky by Russell Kelly 1918, Lord Howe Island, an American, Paul De Martinet, arrives to paint the sub tropical outpost’s vanishing birds. Margaret Sleap, a gifted local gardener accompanies him on expeditions into the island’s mysterious and beautiful kentia palm forest, until one day they are the victims of a savage attack that sets in motion their own choices of survival.

How (not) to start an Orphanage by Tara Winkler How could it be wrong to save the children by starting an orphanage? Oh, in so many ways ...Tara Winkler first arrived in Cambodia to join a tour group in 2005 and was taken to visit a small orphanage in Battambang. The children were living in extreme poverty, and Tara was determined to raise money to help them...Two years later, after fundraising in Australia, Tara returned to Battambang only to discover that the same children were in deep trouble. Her spontaneous response was to find them a new, safe, home. With a team of committed locals and support from friends, she established the Cambodian Children's Trust (CCT)...With an instant family of fourteen children and three dogs, Tara had to learn a lot, very fast. And, along the way, she realised that many of the actions she took with good intentions were not at all what the children needed - or indeed, what any child needs. CCT now helps vulnerable children to escape poverty and be cared for within their families...In this compelling, poignant and funny memoir, Tara shares the many joys and the terrible lows of her journey thus far with honesty and passion. Written with co-writer, Lynda Delacey, How (Not) to Start an Orphanage is a book that will keep you thinking long after you turn the final page...
