Perhaps it is because some of her finest books have a non-Australian setting, and Australian critics and readers are less interested in these. Perhaps it is because she has published many kinds of books, such as picture-story books, chapter-books with illustrations, full-length Young Adult novels (before “Young Adult” was a publishing category), fantasy novels, and true-life stories, and critics and readers are confused by the variety. Perhaps it is because she has been published by many different publishing companies, without the persistent publicity and support that some authors receive from their one main publisher. Perhaps this is because, across the years, she has represented herself without relying on a dedicated literary agent. But she is not as widely known, or celebrated as she deserves. Christobel Mattingley is one of the great Australian children’s authors in the last decades of the Twentieth century, and beyond, with her first book, The Picnic Dog, published in 1970. "With this action-packed trilogy opener, Sanderson offers up a resourceful, fearless heroine and a memorable cast. " Startling revelations and stakes-raising implications.Sanderson plainly had a ball with this nonstop, highflying opener, and readers will too. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. But her fate is intertwined with her father's-a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa's chances of attending flight school at slim to none. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream. Spensa's world has been under attack for decades. From Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reckoners series, Words of Radiance, and the internationally bestselling Mistborn series, comes the first book in an epic new series about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world at war for humanity's future. Dillian’s father’s mother, Marsali MacKellaig, left the island of Skye to work as a maid in Glasgow and married an Englishman. There is also a family connection to Skye. This is all anathema to the order of things at Dillian’s beloved High School. The school, Dundonay House, has ‘progressive’ tendencies, with few rules and the girls run things for themselves, leading on the formulation of their individual timetables. You come to assume that it was because they wanted to shake her out of her set ways and give her the resilience to face and adapt to what life might throw at her. In their wisdom, her parents decide to send her to a boarding school in Skye, partly for her health, without discussing it with her. Dillian Harvie – the first name is a new one on me and weirder than the book acknowledges – is aged fourteen and well established at her high school, but has had a bad bout of influenza. I didn’t realise that the title was a play on the song ‘Over the Sea to Skye’ until I read the book. Over the Sea to School: Mabel Esther Allan.
