Queen of the Tiles by Hanna Alkaf

When Najwa Bakri walks into her first Scrabble competition since her best friend’s death, it’s with the intention to heal and move on with her life. Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to choose the very same competition where said best friend, Trina Low, died. It might be even though Najwa’s trying to change, she’s not ready to give up Trina just yet. But the same can’t be said for all the other competitors. With Trina, the Scrabble Queen herself, gone, the throne is empty, and her friends are eager to be the next reigning champion. All’s fair in love and Scrabble, but all bets are off when Trina’s formerly inactive Instagram starts posting again, with cryptic messages suggesting that maybe Trina’s death wasn’t as straightforward as everyone thought. And maybe someone at the competition had something to do with it. As secrets are revealed and the true colours of her friends are shown, it’s up to Najwa to find out who’s behind these mysterious posts - not just to save Trina’s memory, but to save herself. 

Sixty seven days by Yvonne Weldon

Evie has been raised in the heart of Aboriginal Redfern, by a proud trailblazing Wiradjuri family. She remembers so much about the previous world - the Dreamtime, the ancestors, and the knowing - but she also harbours a dark pain that is becoming almost too much to bear. And then Evie meets James, a young man radiating pure love who fills her life with light. On the cusp of adulthood, with their whole lives ahead of them, they travel to Evie's beloved country, the central west of New South Wales and the Riverina regions. Swimming in the waters of the Kalare, as known by the Wiradjuri, and in the Murrumbidgee, singing with her ancestors, listening to the spirits. The new world created between Evie and James is one they did not know they were missing. Now they can't leave it alone. They are no longer separate - they are one, they are whole together - until a sudden event leaves them seeking answers to one of life's most eternal questions- is love strong enough to withstand anything?

Seventeen-year-old Ally works long, hard hours in the laundry and is resigned to her fate.

In her desperate search to find him, Ally is caught up in a deadly plot by the Administration. And now she wants answers. What has happened to Bon? And why did he leave behind a drawing of a moth?
