When the California drought escalates to catastrophic proportions, one teen is forced to make life and death decisions in this harrowing story of survival from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman.
The drought – or the Tap-Out, as everyone calls it – has been going on for a while now. Everyone’s lives have become an endless list of don’ts: don’t water the lawn, don’t fill up your pool, don’t take long showers.
Until the taps run dry.
Suddenly, Alyssa’s quiet suburban street spirals into a warzone of desperation; neighbours and families turned against each other on the hunt for water. And when her parents don’t return and her life – and the life of her brother – is threatened, Alyssa has to make impossible choices if she’s going to survive.
When Great-Uncle Horace brings back lost and homeless animals from
his travels around the globe, it falls to Zoe, and her mum, the zoo
vet, to settle them into their new home. She's good at this,
because she can understand what they say and talk to them, too. But
that's a secret! In this first book, a tiny lion cub comes to stay
at the zoo and Zoe must ask Leonard, the grumpy old lion, for his
help.
'A joyously animal-packed adventure.' - Hilary McKay, Costa
Award-winning author of The Skylark's War In 1946, Rosa Sweetman, a
young Kindertransport girl, is longing for her family to claim her.
The war in Europe is over and she is the only child left at
Westwood, a rambling country estate in the north of England, where
she'd taken refuge seven years earlier. The arrival of a friend of
the family, Yara Fielding, starts an adventure that will take Rosa
deep into the lush beauty of the Amazon rainforest in search of
jaguars, ancient giant sloths and somewhere to belong. What she
finds is Yara's lively, welcoming family on the banks of the river
and, together, they face a danger greater than she could ever have
imagined. Featuring places and characters known and loved by fans
of Journey to the River Sea (including, among others, Maia, Finn,
Miss Minton and Clovis) this spectacular story tells of the next
generation and the growing threats to the Amazon rainforest that
continue to this day.
A family mix-up means Louie has to tag along with his engineer
father and his team as they head for a routine job in the farthest
flung and most neglected province of the Federation. A massive
earthquake, with ensuing tsunami, devastates the entire isolated
coastal region, laying bare the other-worldly manner in which the
silent and strange Endlanders deal with life, death and the
hinterlands of memory and loss. Their curious and unsettling ways
raise ghosts for Louie, who has recently lost his own brother. This
modern fable - part ghost-story, part coming-of-age novel and part
astute social and family observation - explores the ways in which
grief can affect not only individuals, but communities at large.

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!
