June Books of the Month

It wasn't just the proximity of New Zealand that led us to select a sweeping historical epic of the Pacific as book of the month, it was also the author's track record.

Written by Adam Johnson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Orphan Master’s Son, this immersive story takes you to an isolated, starving island where a brave girl named Korero must risk everything on a treacherous ocean voyage into the unknown toward the Kingdom of Tonga, a dangerous journey that will ultimately transform a forgotten girl into a legendary queen.
