Karen McMillan from NZ Booklovers has been reading Child Power by Raewyn Dawson

There's a chance to win a copy here.

Set in 300 BC, slave trading is rife in the area around the Black Sea, and many children are kidnapped and forced to live in appalling conditions in captivity. Sixteen-year-old Melo is a respected Amazon leader of the tribe The Plains who are committed to following the Peace Way, looking for peaceful resolution, if possible. But then Melo’s friend Atty is captured and put to work on a pig farm, and Melo and her tribe must try and mount a successful rescue operation against all the odds.
