New Zealand Post Book Awards 2009 - Librarians' Reviews


Cecilia Molesworth reviews Enemy at the Gate by Philippa Werry.
The story is set in New Zealand in 1936 and the “Enemy” is polio, a disease that spread all over New Zealand and affecting may children. I found this book very interesting because it tells of an actual situation affecting people, and tells of New Zealand history in an interesting way.
Readers of this book should be between 10 and 16 years old.
