A major motion picture adaptation by Studio Ghibli, creators of
SPIRITED AWAY and ARRIETTY. Anna hasn't a friend in the world -
until she meets Marnie among the sand dunes. But Marnie isn't all
she seems... Sent away from her foster home one long, hot summer to
a sleepy Norfolk village by the sea, Anna dreams her days away
among the sandhills and marshes. She never expected to meet a
friend like Marnie, someone who doesn't judge Anna for being
ordinary and not-even-trying. But no sooner has Anna learned the
loveliness of friendship than Marnie vanishes...
A prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy, that explores the origins of a young Coriolanus Snow and his mentor-tribute relationship with Lucy Gray Baird during the 10th Hunger Games.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capital, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined -- every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death.
Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.

A harrowing sci-fi thriller that #1 New York Times bestselling
author Pittacus Lore proclaimed "Powerful and gripping." This bold
and astonishing novel about identity, unnerving connections,
tortured romance, and facing our worst nightmares is made for fans
of Veronica Roth, Stephen King, and Justin Cronin.
The Arclight is the last refuge in a post-apocalyptic world
consumed by terrifying creatures called the Fade. No one crosses
the wall of light that keeps the last human survivors safe. There's
nothing else left and nowhere to go. Or so they thought, until
Marina, a lone teenage girl, stumbles out of the Dark.
Marina doesn't remember who she is, where she came from, or how
she survived. And the Fade want her back. When one of them
infiltrates the compound and recognizes Marina, she begins to
unlock secrets she didn't even know she had. Marina knows she's an
outsider, but she'll do anything to protect those who saved her.
Whether they want her help or not.

Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik
tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes
beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de
Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by
die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener,
maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die
verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans
tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.
