In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
Freya's world is turned upside down when she and her mum move to inner-city Melbourne. Now she's ...
Stuck in a new apartment on the eleventh floor and Freya is afraid of lifts.
Stuck in a new basketball team where not everyone likes a killer new player.
Stuck in a classroom of kids who don't know Freya is a donor-conceived baby.
Stuck, just like little Audrey in the Skipping Girl sign suspended in mid-air over the suburb of Abbotsford.
Being the new girl makes Freya feel like a dark cloud on a summer's day. Can she figure out how to belong on Vinegar Street?
'Very tender and also very funny - a tumbling collage of words and wonderings, fears and triumphs, where the child's world is both the hard, real thing and the stuff of magic,' URSULA DUBOSARSKY, Australian Children's Laureate 2020-2021
