House at the End of the Street by Lily Blake Daughter of Smoke and Bone Book 2: Days of Bl. Incredible Edibles by Stefan Gates illustrate. What We Saw at Night by Jacquelyn Mitchard Mr Birdsnest and the House Next Door by Julia. Romance Diaries Book 2: Ruby by Jenna Austen The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reade. I seriously doubt that there will be any young girls who could resist this story, there’s drama, history and romance and rolled into a great read that I couldn’t put down. To me this book has elements of Little Women and What Katy Did to it, while at the same time being uniquely Australian. There’s a bit about the role of women in the 1920s, native plants used in the book, catching brumbies and the Men from Snowy River March. There’s also his torical notes at the back of the book, including the poems The Man From Snowy River and Clancy of the Overflow. There is some information about the timeline of the Matilda books in the back, A Waltz For Matilda (1894-1915), A Rose for the Anzac Boys (1915-1920) and this one (1919-1926), there will be another three books to come covering the years 1932-1972, with the last book being set in 1969-72, where we will meet again the wounded Vietnam veteran, Nicholas, who Flinty meets on the rock in this story. This book is absolutely a stand alone novel, in fact I didn't know there was a 'Matilda Saga' until I read the blurb for this one.
