The Big Issue
Keep an eye out for the current edition of The Big Issue. To mark Book Week, the magazine’s books editor Jo Case asked the Centre for Youth Literature to guest edit the books section. So for this fortnight you can find reviews of three great new books (one teenage, one middle readers and one picture book) and a short op-ed by Mike Shuttleworth. There’s also a cracking interview with Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton.
The Big Issue is sold by street vendors who keep half the $5 cover price. You can buy it in the following cities and towns: Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Ballarat, Geelong, and Bendigo. Or visit the Big Issue website. As they say, it’s a hand up, not hand out.
