Booked Out are very pleased to congratulate Amanda (AJ) Betts on winning the Ethel Turner Prize for Young People’s Literature at the recent NSW Premier’s Literary Awards. She was presented the award for her latest novel Zac and Mia, a warm and uplifting story of two young people forming an unexpected friendship in hospital.

Zac and Mia are unforgettable—they put hooks into my heart that are still there. Be warned: if you pick up this book, you won’t want to put it down.
– Fiona Wood
