Sê nou oeroue mites is glad nie mites nie, en daar bestaan regtig iets soos monsters en towerkuns?
Alfie is die troonopvolger, maar op veertien sukkel hy nog om skool te oorleef. Terwyl ’n oeroue vyand probeer om Brittanje in sy bose mag te kry, besef hy dit gaan baie meer gaan verg as wat hy ooit gedink het om koning te word: Alfie moet ook die Redder word: Die Redder van die Ryk.
Join the world of Artemis Fowl, the number one bestseller by Eoin Colfer.
Rumour has it Artemis Fowl is responsible for every major crime of the new century.
Just twelve years old and already he's a criminal genius, plotting to restore his family's fortune with a spot of corruption and kidnapping.
Kidnapping a fairy for ransom, to be precise.
Artemis Fowl has discovered a world below ground of armed and dangerous - and extremely high-tech - fairies. But he may have underestimated their powers. They will fight back. Is the boy about to trigger a cross-species war?
Let the misadventure begin.
What would you do if you knew the world was going to be destroyed
by a huge asteroid in one month? The mesmerising YA debut from the
winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel 2021 and
the New York Times Bestselling author of We Begin at the End. They
knew the end was coming. They saw it ten years back, when it was
far enough away in space and time and meaning. The changes were
gradual, and then sudden. For Mae and her friends, it means
navigating a life where action and consequence are no longer
related. Where the popular are both trophies and targets. And where
petty grudges turn deadlier with each passing day. So, did Abi
Manton jump off the cliff or was she pushed? Her death is just the
beginning of the end. With teachers losing control of their
students and themselves, and the end rushing toward all of them, it
leaves everyone facing the answer to one, simple question... What
would you do if you could get away with anything?

Deadknobs And Doomsticks is a collection of twelve illustrated
short horror stories. Ranging from the darkly bizarre to the
horrifically surreal, many of the stories are laced with a theme of
bullying and bullies. Dark undertones and malevolent overtones
interweave with characters and situations that pull the reader to
the edge of their seat. Wit and black humour is prevalent through
the stories, each with a delicious payoff for the reader. Joe
Pasquale shows that where there is laughter there is also a dark
and disturbing voice that is drawn to the horror genre to find its
release. With illustrations by the author, this collection shows a
rich depth of talent as an artist and author. Joe shows he has as
unique a voice in the world of horror writing, as it is in comedy.
