With more than 30 schools Villawood North to Haberfield – and the kids were fantastic.
A 7-year-old, very determined little girl enters Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for Proper Young Ladies. She discovers that the school has problems, very big problems! Immediately, she has a talk with the head mistress and hopes it will change, but it does not! Even worse is that the head mistress is making her do a three-hour test, a wilderness walk, and sporting competition. How will she deal with it? You find out!
Reading level: Ages 7-10

It’s that time of the year again: school time! Whether it’s the first day of school or the first day of a new grade, there is always an adjustment period. Excited, nervous, or shy, reading books about school, or stories that revolve around the classroom, can be a great way to begin switching gears from the vacation mindset. In this book list, you’ll find picture books, chapter books for the early fluent and fluent readers, as well as a novel for young adults.
The Children’s and Young Adult Literature Festival at the NSW Writers Centre is different to other festivals in that the writing community, sharing, friendship, support of the creativity of authors and creators is at the heart of the festival.
The NSW Writers Centre located in the heritage Gary Owen House in the Parklands of Callan Park grounds give a feel of a fair as writers gather, share conversation and food, applaud the launch of a book, craft and the life of publishing children’s and young adult literature.
As the Chair of the Board of the NSW Writers Centre I opened the festival and was embraced by the warmth of the audience, personal interaction, welcome of novice to well published authors, publishers who generously donated their time, screen writers, playwrights, digital writers ….
There was a wealth of talent and commitment to youth creativity in a home of writers.
