About the author

Ursula Dubosarsky is an award-winning author of numerous books for children and young adults. About The Golden Day, her first book with Candlewick Press, she says, "The little girls watch, wonder, respond, change, and grow — and then their childhood is gone, forever. This element of the story, I suppose, is at least partly autobiographical. But, as I say — all of our teachers come home safe and sound in the end." Ursula Dubosarsky lives in Australia.

Reviews

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dubosarsky for adults - this was in the adult section of the library and whilst it was good and had some very good moments, in some ways it felt a little confusing and seemed to try a bit hard to make it more adult like to separate it from being a book for a younger audience. Good but not one of her better books.

This book was average to me. The plotline was confusing, and the themes were hard to follow. The author did an okay job incorporating an element of mystery, but I don't like books where there are parts you are unsure of.
