NewsSix months down, six months to go - can you believe that we’re already half way through 2019!?
In June, we hosted a very special birthday for a very well-known caterpillar! Yes! Eric Carle’s childrens classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, turns 50 this year and we celebrated this milestone at The Glen by throwing a big party! There were plenty of games and activities, caterpillar decorations hanging everywhere and even a Hungry Caterpillar Cake! It was a super fun day and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.
We’re looking forward to a brand newmonth of great books. See you in store at Robinsons soon, and until next time,
Happy Reading!
July Book of the Month Sweet SorrowDavid NichollsCharlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don’t remember in the school photograph. His exams have not gone well. At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread. Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling.The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare.
Young Adult Book of the MonthStorM AND FUrYJennifer L. ArmentroutEighteen-year-old Trinity Marrow may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. When Wardens from another clan arrive with disturbing reports that something out there is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s safe world implodes. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met. Zayne has secrets of his own that will upend
her world yet again – but working together becomes imperative once demons breach the compound and Trinity’s secret comes to light. To save her family and maybe the world, she’ll have to put her trust in Zayne. But all bets are off as a supernatural war is unleashed...
Philip RobinsonDuring June, we received sad news that the founder of Robinson’s Bookshop – Philip Robinson, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends after a short illness. Philip was in his late 90s and was a pioneer of bookselling in Australia. The two current owners Susanne Horman & Andre Olschyna met with Philip and Moira last year and Philip was full of stories of
the book industry and had lots of photos to share of the early days. Together with his wife Moira, Philip opened Robinsons Bookshop in Frankston in 1963 and it is now Victoria’s Oldest General Indie Bookshop and has grown to have 12 stores across 3 states. To this day customers visiting the store mention Moira and Philip with great fondness and there is great support in the community for both of them and for what they have done together to bring books to the people of Melbourne. Our thoughts and best wishes are with his wife Moira, their children and extended family.

WOLF GIRL: INTO THE WILDAhn DoIn this, the first in a new series from bestselling author Anh Do, we meet Gwen right at the moment when her life is about to change forever. In the midst of disaster Gwen loses her family and must learn to survive on her own, with a rag-tag pack of dogs her only companions. This is a brilliant start to a new adventure series, and the focus on
leadership (especially with such a fantastic leading female character) and animal friendship makes it ideal for both new and old fans alike. Wolf Girl will leave you on the edge of your seat, desperate to find out what happens next!
- BridgetTHE CHAINAdrian MckintyVictim. Kidnapper. Criminal. The Chain is an extraordinarily original work of crime fiction that takes the worst nightmare of every parent and turns it into a stark, horrifying reality for main character Rachel O’Neill when her daughter is kidnapped by the malevolent entity known as the chain. Equal parts thrilling and horrifying The Chain was an
excellent breath of fresh air that kept me guessing and gasping the whole way through. A must read for crime fiction and horror fans alike.

WE HUNT THE FLAME Hafsah FaizalZafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the king. Both are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya. But neither wants to be.We Hunt the Flame is a tale of Middle Eastern Influences,
and author Hafsah Faizal writes of lands surrounded by sweeping sands and snow. A Huntress and an assassin brave a forest that is cursed and an island that is somehow alive, to locate an ancient artefact that has the power to save their country. I had an absolute blast reading this book – the characters are funny, bold and extremely stubborn, and I look forward to the next instalment!
- Lauren
STARFELLDominique ValenteFull of mystery, wit and magical creatures, Starfell is the perfect book for fans of How To Train Your Dragon and the Fantastic Beasts films. Willow Moss shows that you don’t have to be the most powerful witch to help save the world, you just need some help from your friends. With some beautiful illustrations and wonderful characters, Starfell is
one book you don’t want to miss!- Lisa
BIRTHDAY Meredith RussoAs Stephen King wrote in The Body – we rarely have friends in later life like those we have as teenagers. Our childhood friendships build strong bonds, and even when we lose those friends, or drift apart from them, their impact remains. Morgan and Eric exemplify this in Birthday. Born on the same day, in the same hospital, they find
themselves forever linked, through school, through sport, and via their families. As they stumble into adolescence, their bonds are tested, not least of which due to some deeply personal secrets they are both holding within. Birthday is a courageous, timely, heartfelt work from the author of If I Was Your Girl. It’s a story of trust, identity, and what it truly means to be yourself.
- NikkiTHE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREESamantha Shannon In this 800+ page behemoth, Samantha Shannon has built an intricate world of Eastern and Western influence, opposing religions, and dragons. I found myself savouring every word of this story, taking it all in piece-by-
piece as the author weaved her tale with dedication and precision. Calling this an epic fantasy barely does it justice! Don’t be daunted by its intimidating page count, The Priory of the Orange Tree is a must-have for all lovers of good fantasy.
- LaurenVIPERBex Hogan For her entire life Marianne has been training to one day become a Viper, to finally become a part of the deadly crew she has lived with on her fathers ship for as long as she can remember. But can she pass the initiation? Can she take another’s life? Are the Vipers the heroes she’s always believed they are? Bex Hogan’s debut novel is addictive. It
is full of violence, love and longing, of broken dreams and broken hearts. It’s the type of novel you will sacrifice sleep for... I know I did.
