In 2016, his book Soon won the 2016 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year Award, Young Readers and and the 2016 Kids Own Australian Literature Awards (KOALAs) for Fiction for years 7-9.

Now comes the seventh and final part of Felix’s story, bringing to a powerful climax a series that countless young readers around the world will remember – Always.Once I finished this book my jaw dropped, this book is about world war 2 and and this little Jewish boy try’s to run away with a little girl but he caught in so much trouble.
