Hierdie storie gaan oor ’n jong towenaarseun en ’n jong krygermeisie wat van geboorte af geleer is om mekaar soos gif te haat.
Die storie begin met die ontdekking van 'n reusagtige swart veer.
Is die towenaars en krygers dalk so besig om teen mekaar te baklei dat hulle nie agterkom dat ’n oeroue bose mag teruggekeer het nie? Is daardie veer dalk regtig ’n hekseveer?
Peregrine Quinn has always loved hearing her godfather Daedalus Bloom's stories about his life as an immortal, but that's all they were - stories. That is, until the portals that connect the Terran Realm with the Cosmic Realm mysteriously shut down and Daedalus, the only one who can fix them, is kidnapped.
Peregrine is then swept into a nail-biting adventure, racing through the streets of Oxford, down the riverways of London and into the Under-Underground. She soon realises that not only are the creatures from her godfather's stories real, but they're shooting at her with laser blasters.
Fortunately she has help from dryad librarian Rowan Strong and Olympus Inc. liaison (and faun) Callimachus Thorn. Together they must fix the portals and rescue Daedalus before an ancient evil rises and chaos takes over. Time is running out and the fate of all the realms is now in Peregrine's hands . . .

James Augustus Dopeyworth wants nothing more than to become a
detective, just like his father and his hero Sherlock Holmes. He
loves solving mysteries and can often be found with a magnifying
glass in one hand and a chocolate eclair in the other. Poor old
Jim, as he likes to be known, doesnt seem to have much luck.
Nothing ever seems to go his way and it doesn't help that he is
extremely clumsy and is always getting into the most unlikely
scrapes. But one day an advert appears in the local paper that
changes everything. Will Jim become the famous detective that he
always dreamed of being or will it all end up as one big messy
disaster? Detective Dopeyworth is a story about never giving up on
your dreams, no matter what obstacles are put in your way.

Uiteindelik kan Daniël en sy vriende vir ’n naweek na die plot gaan en ontspan – en sommer ook wegkom van Peet wat al weer op hulle spoor is. Maar Daniël se sussie, Chrissie, is siek met iets wat aansteeklik lyk en die dokter het gesê hulle mag nie naby haar kom nie.
Daniël vind die perfekte oplossing: Hulle kan langs die rivier kamp! Terwyl hulle met binnebande in die rivier afdryf, sien hulle iets wat verdag lyk by oom Giel Larson se plek. Dalk is dit niks, maar sê nou die oom is werklik in die moeilikheid. Hulle rustige kampnaweek raak baie vinnig baie gevaarlik wanneer hulle gaan ondersoek instel …
Kamp is nie vir sissies nie!
