My Brother Ben by Peter Carnavas
Winner of the 2022 Patricia Wrightson prize for Children’s Literature.
A timeless story of brothers, boats and birds, from an award-winning storyteller.
Luke and his big brother Ben spend the summer on the banks of Cabbage Tree Creek. Quiet Luke sketches birds, while Ben leaps off the Jumping Tree. The boys couldn’t be more different but they share the same dream: winning a boat so they can explore the creek properly.
Then Ben starts high school and the boys drift apart. When Luke catches Ben sneaking out at night, he knows his brother's up to something, but what?
Seven Days by Fleur Ferris
A fast-paced, action-packed story of how the past catches up to us.
When Ben is dumped with his country relatives for the holidays, he starts counting down the days until it’s over, hating every second. But Ben’s stay takes a sharp turn when he comes across his great-great grandfather's journal – the final entry being from one hundred years ago, right after he was shot. With his cousin, Josh, Ben starts unravelling mysteries, lies and shocking crimes. Can the two boys beat the odds to resolve a century of bad blood between two families?
