CCBC Best Books for Kids and Teens Fall 2018, OCULUM makes the list!


Every spring and fall, the Canadian Children's Book Centre puts out their list of the 
Best Books for Kids and Teens.

So pleased that OCULUM made the list in the latest issue, Fall 2018! Thanks guys! 
I love the tags: Dystopia, Science Fiction, Adventure, Environment, Robots, Survival, Secrets. 
They could have added one more: Shakespeare 

The main characters in OCULUM are Miranda1 and Mann (remember The Tempest), and the main book that the children living in the domed world of OCULUM read is the WillBook, which is a collection of Shakespeare's plays and poems. 

Thanks to wonderful author Kate Blair for the picture (I still don't have my copy yet, due to a postal strike here in Canada).

Enjoy the full fall catalogue online at CCBC
