We have a conversation with Shaina Birkhead from the Children's Book Council and Every Child a Reader as we get ready for the 100th anniversary of Children's Book Week, April 29-May 5.Every Child a Reader: https://everychildareader.netChildren's Book Week: https://everychildareader.net/cbw/

Join Australian YA author Cally Black as she chats to Dani Vee about the extraordinary science fiction novel In The Dark Spaces. We have a relaxed and in depth chat about alien species, females ruling the alien world and he demise of humanity. A fun and unique read. Wonderful for readers who want something different, or reluctant readers looking for something new and original. Cally Black's first YA novel, a SF thriller, IN THE DARK SPACES, is about a girl living on the fringes of one society, who is kidnapped and forced to learn to survive in a completely alien society. She'll need to find her voice, her power, and her young cousin, before both societies tear each other apart. Hardie Grant Egmont describe it as "a genre-smashing hostage drama. This ground-breaking thriller is the latest young-adult novel to win the Ampersand Prize, a stand-out entry with a blindingly original voice: raw, strange and deeply sympathetic. With its vivid and immersive world-building, this electrifying debut is The Knife of Never Letting Go meets Homeland, for the next generation of sci-fi readers." In the Dark Spaces won the Ampersand Prize in 2015. Subsequent Awards: Shortlisted in the New Zealand Book Awards Highly Commended by the Victorian Premier's Literary Prize Winner of an Aurealis Award Shortlisted for a Ditmar Award Shortlisted by the Children's Book Council of Australia Shortlisted for the Ethel Turner Prize in the NSW Premiers Awards Listed in the Inky Awards.
