This is a powerful new fantasy from the popular author of ‘Looking for Alibrandi’ Quite different from her earlier novels, this is an engrossing adventure story set in the cursed kingdom of Lumatere. Finnikin of the Rock and his guardian Sir Topher have been travelling through the land of their exiled people for ten years recording their losses in the Book of Lumatere and waiting for a sign that the terrible curse will be lifted. When they meet the young novice, Evanjalin, they begin the final part of their journey together with the belief that they will finally be able to return to Lumatere and reunite their people. This book has been nominated for the CBC Book of the Year in the Older Readers category for 2009.

Books - Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta
Rate the book: 10
By the same author as "Looking For Alibrandi", is another great book about a teens life. Even though the main character, Francesca is Italian (like in Looking For Alibrandi), this book focuses moreso on the troubles she faces when she is sent to a school that has only just become co-ed, leaving her friends from her old school behind.This book is also about boy troubles rather than trouble because of her ethnicity. A great read for those who love romance/friend/family type books.
