According to their website:
Many of the books look interesting to me so here's a link to the whole series for the curious:

I also thought that the cover was interesting. Here is a blog-post that explains why they selected the concept of silhouettes for the series.

Some of the books they've chosen to champion are interesting.
I personally wouldn't have thought
Tirra Lirra by the River was that under-appreciated, but then again, I live in the country where it's considered a classic.
To give an example of this. It exists on the 2015 HSC reading list for one of the advanced English modules.
I always say that a book that is still being pushed as a high school reading text after almost 40 years is a book that's doing OK. I didn't get to study it when I was in high school, so I'm glad of the opportunity to finally read it.
