WINNER 2013 CHRISTIAN SMALL PUBLISHERS INTERNATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD CHILDREN'S CATEGORY (8-12 years) FINALIST 2012 AUSTRALASIAN CALEB BOOK AWARD FOR BEST CHILDREN'S BOOK Where the Crickets Sing by Rosie Boom is a warm-hearted, engaging book for the whole family to enjoy. The third book in the multi-award-winning series, The Barn Chronicles, it invites readers to join the Boom family in another year of homesteading in rural New Zealand. Going on the pony trek to the beach is a dream come true for twelve-year-old Milly- trekking over high hills, swimming Peony in the sea, galloping along the beach. But when tragedy strikes, the excitement turns to tears. Adventures, dramas, laughter and some tears are all part of the rich tapestry of the Boom family's third year of living in their ninety-year-old barn. Milly's days are full to the brim as she cares for her animals, milks her cow, enjoys adventures with her brothers and sisters, and helps Mum and Dad build the new family home. She is as happy as a cricket. But that doesn't stop her lying awake at night, dreaming of hitching Peony to a wagon, climbing into the high wagon seat and picking up the reins... Destined to be a classic. Peter Harris, author A lovely family read that will keep young adventurers, boy and girl, riveted to the page. Jenny Waldron There is something about reading of life in the Boom's barn that creates the warmest of family bonds. I can't really describe it, but it's there. Veronica (mother)

WINNER 2014 CHRISTIAN SMALL PUBLISHERS INTERNATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD CHILDREN'S CATEGORY (8-12 years) FINALIST 2013 AUSTRALASIAN CALEB BOOK AWARD FOR BEST CHILDREN'S BOOK Where the River Rises is the fourth and final book in the multi-award-winning series The Barn Chronicles by New Zealand author Rosie Boom. Where the River Rises is a warm-hearted, engaging book for the whole family to enjoy. It invites readers to join the Boom family in another year of homesteading in rural New Zealand. As the Boom family begins a fourth year of living in their ninety-three-year-old barn, a terrible drought has Northland in its grip. The land turns brown, the Great River of Narnia falls, and the animals begin to suffer. As the relentless drought continues, thirteen-year-old Milly begins to think the rains will never come. But meanwhile there is a homestead to be finished and adventures to be had. There are calves to rear, gardens to plant and endless firewood to be collected. When the drought finally breaks and the river rises again, The Ruins have been transformed into a home crafted with love, blood, sweat and tears. Milly can hardly wait to move in. The time has come to leave the barn and begin a whole new adventure... A modern-day Little House on the Prairie - and every bit as charming as that classic. My daughter sat spellbound as we read The Barn Chronicles. Though they were family read-alouds she kept sneaking off with them to read ahead. In an era where wholesome, fun, children's novels are increasingly hard to come by, this series is a gem. Lisa Taylor, mother, author of Motive Games The Barn Chronicles are amazing! 10/10! I love how the series is funny, adventurous and exciting. I sometimes wish I lived in the barn but I live on a farm so it's pretty much just as good. I love animals and enjoy reading about the horses, ducks, chickens, Prince Caspian and Angel. I will also always remember John the Baptist, the retarded but lovely rooster - R.I.P. I definitely recommend this series for all ages. Awesome! Annelies 10)
