Press Release
Cristobal Bull, Nowhere to Hide, The Islander, and What Mommy Doesn’t See Win April BREW Award
Australia, 1st May 2025, –
The Chrysalis BREW Project has announced the winners of the April 2025 BREW Readers’ Choice Award Book of the Month. The titles recognised this month are Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett, Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin, The Islander by David W. Berner, and What Mommy Doesn’t See by Karen Ledbetter.
Cristobal Bull by Chris Corbett was noted for its character construction and storytelling approach. The review from The Chrysalis BREW Project stated, “Corbett’s focus on the Bull’s past serves the story’s depth and flow well.” It also noted that the author “presents the Bull as a human being first, with motivations, history, and internal logic.”
Nowhere to Hide by Jude Austin was recognised for its exploration of interspecies dynamics and ethical complexity. The review highlighted, “The best parts of this book highlight what happens when two intelligent life forms attempt to understand each other without the option of walking away.”
David W. Berner’s The Islander was chosen for its portrayal of introspection and change. According to the review, the book is “not a travel story but a story of travelling inward, away from things, people, and situations, and toward clarity.”
Karen Ledbetter’s What Mommy Doesn’t See was recognised for its narrative focus and treatment of sensitive topics. The review noted that “Ledbetter handles sensitive scenes with a deliberate lack of over-dramatisation” and “presents the narrative from the child’s perspective without unnecessary exposition.”
More details about this announcement are on The Chrysalis BREW Project website.
