Edenglassie by Melissa Lukashenko is a great read. It changed the way I think about South Bank and Meanjin. Another favourite at the moment is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, which I've just finished. It's absolutely divine—like diving into clouds! Describes the connection between First Nations peoples in America and their environment in the most beautiful way possible.

Definitely going to be busy over summer with these amazing recommendations!
You could try All Systems Red. It's not YA, but it's suitable (and likely highly appealing) for teenagers. It's also quite short.
Thank you! I'll definitely put it on my summer reading list
