Teresa: A New Australian
Teresa: A New Australian | Deborah Abela
1 post
Teresa and her family survived the bombing of their home and went hungry during the long siege of their island during the war. Life in peace time is still hard. Her parents want a better life, and so apply to migrate to Australia to find it. But after the long voyage to Sydney, there are more testing times ahead of Teresa as she tries to learn Australian ways, avoid the bullies and do well at school. She is not about to let anything stop her from making her family and her nanna back in Malta proud of her.

I read the “A New #Australian” series in late primary school as well as a similar series “My Australian Girl” and I recently re-read them. The books are clearly aimed at a younger audience, likely #tween. I don‘t love them like I used to but I would recommend the series for tweens/early teens who like #history. I would definitely enjoy a series like this now if it had better characters and better writing.
