On the fifth day of The Twelve Days of Inkwell, we don’t necessarily have five gold rings but we can offer The Golden Child by Wendy James. This compelling thriller was shortlisted for the 2017 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction and rightfully so considering that it delves into a chilling story about cyberbullying.

On the sixth day of The Twelve Days of Inkwell, we venture to a place where we may not find six geese a-laying but a story that involves adventure and mystery. The Rarest Bird in the World: The Search for the Nechisar Nightjar by Vernon R.L. Head takes the reader to Ethiopia in 1990 along with Cambridge scientists studying bird specimens. Along the way, they find a never-before-seen bird wing that could lead to the discovery of a new species.
