Every year the Inky Awards run. Like the Children's Book of the Year Awards someone is voting on the best books written for Young Adults. Only unlike the CBCA awards, the Inky Awards are decided by teenagers. Across Australia, people like you have come up with a list of books they think you will enjoy the most.
There is a Gold Inky for books written by Australian authors, and a Silver Inky for those written by non-Australian authors.

Let's say you have an assignment that is looking at fashion in the 1960s. You can search for: Fashion 1960s, but you will get quite different results if you search for: fashion 1960..1969.
Can you imagine being lost and not finding your way home

Saroo Brierley became lost on a train in India at the age of five. Not knowing the name of his family or where he was from, he survived for weeks on the streets of Kolkata, before being taken into an orphanage and adopted by a family in Australia.
Despite being happy in his new home, Saroo always wondered about his origins. He spent hours staring at the map of India on his bedroom wall. He pored over satellite images on Google Earth seeking out landmarks he recognised. And one day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for.
Then he set off on a journey back to India to see if he could find his mother. [blurb]
