The saga of the Logan family--made famous in the Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry--concludes in a long-awaited and deeply fulfilling story.

In her tenth book, Mildred Taylor completes her sweeping saga about the Logan family of Mississippi, which is also the story of the civil rights movement in America of the 20th century. Cassie Logan, first met in Song of the Trees and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, is a young woman now, searching for her place in the world, a journey that takes her from Toledo to California, to law school in Boston, and, ultimately, in the 60s, home to Mississippi to participate in voter registration. She is witness to the now-historic events of the century: the Great Migration north, the rise of the civil rights movement, preceded and precipitated by the racist society of America, and the often violent confrontations that brought about change. Rich, compelling storytelling is Ms. Taylor's hallmark, and she fulfills expectations as she brings to a close the stirring family story that has absorbed her for over forty years. It is a story she was born to tell.

"You can come back when you're done being gay." Jason is a 13-year-old who comes out to his religious and conservative mother, only to be cast out of their home. Homeless, he learns how to survive, eventually turning to hustling as a way to live. Doug is a 17-year-old with an abusive father and a chip on his shoulder. Energized and empowered by violence, he gets mixed up with a group of Neo-Nazis. The lives of these two flawed teens spiral towards each other, and one fateful night their paths cross at a fast-food restaurant in Los Angeles, and a horrendous hate crime is committed. Freaks and Revelations is a raw and gripping novel based on the haunting true story of Timothy Zaal and Matthew Boger. Told in alternating perspectives by Jason (Matthew Boger) and Doug (Timothy Zaal), author Davida Wills Hurwin creates a fictional narrative that traces the tragic - but ultimately inspirational - journeys of two very polarized teens.

Bronte is nervous about meeting a group of girls who are friends of her best mate Annabelle. Will she like them? Will they like her? How will they all get along for two whole weeks? Bronte needn’t have worried, as they all connect when something which has been playing on Bronte’s mind gets the girls to unite as a team. Bronte has always been a beach girl. She grew up by one and has been a Nipper for as long as she can remember. She’d do anything for her beach… so when she realises that not everyone respects it as much as they should, she decides to do something about it. After a quick brainstorming session with her new best friends, she comes up with a very out-of-the-box solution that sees her become a business entrepreneur! Bronte decides to start a beach stall selling a line of reusable, personally designed food storage items to encourage visitors not to pollute the beach with rubbish. Soon, however, the stall becomes a victim of its own success, and Bronte is overwhelmed with the demands her business takes upon her time and mental health. Taking on adult responsibilities is a full-time job and one she struggles to cope with, until some sound advice from Annabelle about the importance of just being a kid makes Bronte see that one person should never feel the need to take everything on their shoulders alone. Everyone should do their bit to be environmentally responsible, but everyone also has a right to be happy and to do the things they love… like spending care-free days frolicking on the beach with their best friend! It comes with a very strong moral attached to it; no child should be made to feel like they have to grow up too soon and deal with adult issues, but they can all be mindful of the impact their actions have on the world around them. Parents would agree with this sentiment and it gives children peace of mind. This ties in nicely with the original purpose of the Australian Girl Dolls – age appropriateness.
