Katrina Nannestad’s ‘All the beautiful things’ wins the 2025 Indie Book Children’s category Award!

All the Beautiful Things by Katrina Nannestad is an impeccably researched historical novel set in Nazi Germany. Tugging at the heart-strings, it is a must-read novel for middle-grade readers…

The Indie Book Award Judges commented: ‘Katrina Nannestad masterfully brings stories of adversity to life in a sensitive and caring way. This book encourages children to reflect on how we treat others and the cruel actions that people, societies, and governments can sometimes take. It’s a powerful yet gentle narrative that reminds us of the goodness and hope that exist even in the darkest corners of the world.’
