Remark
Well, where can I start? Reading is an incredible thing, you can pass time so quickly whilst getting lost of the Masterwork of Dahl, Blyton or Agatha Christie. I hate to inform you but my novel I read was “The Baby Sitters Club”, painful I know, but I was young and Innocent being 7 years od age. But soon after that I discovered the Amzing Enid Blyton, the book devles into innocence of the aimed reader (8-12 years old). I completely fell in love with all these books, my collection spanning to around about 200 of her books. But then I discovered the wonder of Roald Dahl, I remember reading the Witches when I was in grade 2 (8 years old) and feeling mezmorized and being absoulutely overthrown by this great book! I saw the movie and was somewhat dispointed, but aren’t you usually when you see a book-turned-movie? After a few years of this I found books aimed at “Young Adults” such as Looking for Alibrandi (one of my favourite Books) and it changed the way I look at everything. You may think Im a drama-queen teenager but anybody who reads this book will be amazed by this simplistic yet complicated book, quite the amazing book. Anybody who thinks books are for a “Keeno” or “Geek”, they are the ones missing out, the ability to read is one of the most important things we have and this should be taken advantage of. Although I am only 13 years old I am looking foward to many more years of reading!

Summary: Amy is from Ballart, 17 years old, loves reading books and is still at high school. In the visualization I have shown how Amy will grow older throughout the change and how the environment will aslo change throughout global warming. Nature will keep suffering due to the lack of rain and ongoing drought.

Remark
As a library officer in a Primary School, I rediscovered an abiding love of children’s books. My favourite is The Nativity by Julie Vivas. This is a beautifully human depiction of Mary, Joseph and their journey & it brings a smile to my face every time I pick it up – so if you need a happy thought check it out for yourselves.

Summary: Suzanne is a library officer in a primary school, she loves reading children’s books and lives in Bunbury,WA. In the visualization I have shown how books will slowly turn into digital format in the future due to sustainability and minimising paper usage. It wont be the same as reading a hard cover book and turning pages. It will just be looking at a screen and pressing the button for the next page to appear and a lot of people will not like the change, especially Suzanne.

Remark
In 1995 I was working at a dreadful administration job and felt utterly misplaced and separated from my roots and my muse. A friend recognised my lost history and gave me Toni Morrison’s Beloved, because it’s an historical novel. That book showed me that writing history is about telling passionate stories, and I went back to uni, finished my degree and now am nearly all the way through a PhD in History. It was a superb gift. The book I’ve nominated however is The Bone People because it’s about the fabric of a woman’s life, and her process of building and rebuilding. Utterly inspiring.

Summary: Naomi is doing a phd in history and lives in Katoomba in NSW right near a train station. She will always have a interest in history throught the change. She will be very accepting of altering her actions to be sustainable and looking after the world so there will be history in the future. She may also start riding a bike instead of catching the train or driving to be environmentally friendly.
