NZ Booklovers Director Karen McMillan says: ‘Our winning novel combines the best of historical fiction with the tautness of a thriller. Our lifestyle-winning book is a taonga that honours the legacy of whānau and the joy of sharing kai. The Young Adult winner is an exploration of cultural survival and personal transformation. Our joint Junior Fiction-winning novels are exceptional, with vivid storytelling and rich characters. The winning children’s picture book is written with humour and tenderness and will engage young readers and foster a love of books.'
