ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- People have come to Australia by boat for centuries, and this book tells the stories of some of those immigrants. Starting with Anak 50 000 years ago, the book progresses through the early and mid 1700s, the late 1780s, early and mid 1800s, decades of the 1900s and ends with Abdul in early 2000s. The children sail on various ships - as traders, explorers, convicts, settlers, cameleers, gold-diggers, orphans, settlers and refugees. Told through the eyes of children who do not know what awaits, and who feel trepidation and uncertainty. Expressive illustrations accompany the text. Mid-to-late primary age readers. Lindy Jones

I love narrative non-fiction books (both for kids and in my own reading time) and this is a fantastic example. * Bookish Bron * Waves is beautifully written, with equally stunning illustrations. The cover alone is worthy of framing! * The Golden Adventures *
