Just finished 'The Nest' by Paul Jennings. The dark story of a teenage boys journey into his past. Enjoyed it very much.
Just started "The Messenger' by Markus Zusak. Have read another book written by this author called 'The Book Thief" - a fantastic read about a German girl fostered to a German family in the late 1930's. She steals books from Nazi burnings and from the library of the mayors wife and is taught to read by her foster father. Concurrently the family hides a Jewish man (son of an old army friend of the father) in the basement. I highly recommend this book, it is beautifully written and very moving.
