Paperback
Author: Mandy Hager
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
In Stock: 1
This is the second thrilling book in the Blood of the Lamb trilogy.
Maryam, Ruth and Joseph have fled Onewēre, reluctantly lumbered with Joseph's troublesome cousin, Lazarus, as well. They arrive at their destination, Marawa Island, filled with hope for rescue and reprieve. But at first glance the island appears to be solely populated by birds.
Perhaps the Apostle's dire warnings about the fall-out of the Tribulation were true after all?
As Maryam and Joseph experience all the topsy-turvy misunderstandings and sexual tension first love entails, the antagonism between Maryam and Lazarus reaches explosive proportions.
But when disaster brings the crushing realisation that time is now against them, all four must decide just who they can risk turning to for help.

"You’ll be swept along by this exciting story from the imaginative Mandy Hager"–-Margaret Mahy.

"A taut, original thriller." --TVNZ Booknews

Paperback
Author: Fleur Beale
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd
In Stock: 1
Juno, a young teen on the verge of adulthood, struggles with her need to fit in and belong and her growing discomfort and questioning of her society's rules. Juno lives in the not-too-distant future on Taris, a bubble-covered island in the Pacific, to which a few hundred people fled when Earth's inhabitants began to self-destruct.
On Taris rules govern everything from appearance, behaviour and even procreation to ensure the survival of humankind.
Juno of Taris examines many themes, peer pressure, environmental breakdown, the fictionalization of history, societal control and challenging authority. It is a thoroughly good read from one of our very best writers for young adults.
