Once they fought against each other for the land, now they fight together to protect it.

This third book in the Kiwis at War series follows Leith, a young Scots-born lad from Otago, who has been fighting in Gallipoli. Much to his disgust, and that of his fellow Otago Mounted Rifles contingent, after the evacuation of Gallipoli they are merged with incoming new Maori contingents to become the ‘Pioneer Battalion’ – building barracks, roads and digging trenches. There is some antagonism between the two factions, and when Leith befriends Tamati, a young Maori lad who has lied about his age to enlist, they are ridiculed from both sides. But as time goes by, and they are all sent to dig trenches at the Somme, a grudging respect for each other is built up amongst the men.

Hidden under a small suburban town, the Inventory is a collection of the most incredible technology the world has NEVER seen: invisible camouflage, HoverBoots, indestructible metals, and the deadly war robot Iron Fist. Dev’s uncle, Charles Parker, is the Inventory’s mild-mannered curator, with security provided by Eema, a beyond-state-of-the-art artificial intelligence system. But security is catastrophically breached when Lot and Mason from school turn up unexpectedly and, hot on their heels, a ruthless gang of thieves working for the Collector and the Shadow Helix organisation. If the thieves succeed in their goal to seize the Iron Fist, Dev, his friends and the world are in a whole heap of trouble.

His girlfriend, Ellia, suffered a terrible accident — maybe because of him — and now she’s lost her memory.

Two SummersAimee Friedman

$25.00

When Summer Everett makes a split-second decision, her summer divides into two parallel worlds. In one, she travels to France, where she’s dreamed of going: a land of chocolate croissants, handsome boys and art museums. In the other, she remains home, in her ordinary suburb, where she expects her ordinary life to continue — but nothing is as it seems. In both summers, she will fall in love and discover new sides of herself. What may break her, though, is a terrible family secret, one she can’t hide from anywhere. In the end, it might just be the truth she needs the most.

Sales Points:• Aimee’s new novel is as fun and engaging as ever, with a terrific, inventive structure • This is Sliding Doors meets Anna and the French Kiss—with an escapist summer setting (or two!) • Explores the idea of fate and self-determination with a large helping of fun, drama and romance • This is the perfect read for fans of real-world, contemporary-set fiction

PICTURE BOOKS


Scholastic's mission is built on helping children learn to read and love to read. We believe that independent reading is a critical part of children’s learning and growth. With support from teachers, parents, and schools, children choose from Scholastic the books they want to read, and discover the pleasure and power of reading. Finding the right book at the right time can light an emotional spark within children that motivates them to read more, understand more,

and read joyfully. When that happens, the world opens. Everything becomes

possible.
