The Little Bookroom is thrilled to be hosting a DOUBLE LAUNCH with two great thriller writers for their new books: Adrian Beck () and Amy Doak ()!

✨ SATURDAY 4th July, 2pm ✨

Join the two for a lively in-conversation to celebrate the release of their books!

About Adrian Beck's Nowhere House:
Nate is furious that he’s had to leave his school, break up his band and move to the middle of nowhere with his family. But he never imagined he’d be moving into an old farmhouse that’s been left for dead. Soon, Nate and his little sister, Mila, uncover a chilling secret: the previous owner’s children vanished without a trace. If Nate can’t solve the mystery of the missing kids in time... maybe he and his sister will be next. A gripping twisty thriller that will keep readers guessing till the end. Perfect for ages 10-14.

About Amy Doak's Eleanor Jones is Not Drowning:
A new installment in the award-winning and bestselling series about teen detective Eleanor Jones is here . . .
Eleanor Jones is over the rain. The drought has finally broken, and the Cooinda River is rising - fast. When fellow student Letisha Sabri asks her to prove her boyfriend's death was murder, Eleanor is thrown back into detective mode. The more Eleanor investigates - which she fits in around school, spending time with Troy and planning for the upcoming Deb Ball - the more it seems like Letisha might be right. Perfect for ages 12+.

Seasonal subscriptions are back! 🪾🌲🍂❄️

Since we re-opened in October, we've been asked many times if we'll be re-launching our subscription service, and the answer is finally YES!

We're starting with launching the PICTURE BOOK subscription for WINTER!

Handpicked by our experienced staff, the subscription will deliver three picture books each quarter for as long as you remain subscribed.

Included books will meet the following criteria:
✨ Newly published books by Australian creators released within the three months of the season's bundle.
✨ Excellence of writing, illustration and production, with consideration of how those elements combine to create a distinguished example of children’s literature.
✨ Appeal for children aged 3 to 6 (as well as the grown-up reading with them).

Whether you’re gifting a subscription to someone special, or to yourself, it’s the perfect way to get a parcel filled with some of the best Australian new releases which will surely become well-loved classics.

$95 includes 3 picture books, gift-wrapping and delivery nation-wide.

We also have an option that's a once-off package of pre-wrapped board books!

Is there a new baby in your life? Our 'Welcome to the World' bundle is the perfect gift to build a young person's library. Baby shower, parental leave or new-born gifting sorted! This bundle is made up entirely of Australian books wrapped individually, ready for opening each month with baby!

Needing a subscription for a different age group?
We're planning to re-launch our Junior Fiction, Middle Fiction, Young Adult and Graphic Novel bundles (hopefully) in time for Spring 🌺
