This year’s CBCA Book of the Year is Rebecca Lim’s Tiger Daughter. The novel tells the story of Melbourne student Wen Zhou, the daughter of struggling Chinese immigrants who must defy her overbearing father and rely on her resourcefulness to find her own voice. It is a wonderful story about family and friendship and would particularly appeal to students in Years 7 – 9.  Students are welcome to borrow this title, as well as the other short-listed titles in the Older Reader category.
