Congratulations are in order for our talented author, Glenda Millard. Her captivating novel, The Stars at Oktober Bend, has been long listed by the UK Literary Association’s Book Awards.

These awards are unique, as they are the only ones entirely judged by teachers themselves. The titles chosen are not only engaging reads for young people, but are also fantastic classroom resources. The Stars at Oktober Bend, a heartfelt tale about love and resilience, is as beautifully written as it is uplifting.

Glenda is one of our most multi-talented speakers. She writes everything from picture books, to novels for young adults. The Stars at Oktober Bend was also shortlisted by the Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards earlier this year, so it is clearly loved by students and teachers both overseas and at home.

Congratulations again Glenda, for your success in Australia and abroad!
