One of the most iconic characters in children's books The world's
most famous travelling reporter goes Down Under. Tintin, Captain
Haddock and Professor Calculus are on their way to Sydney,
Australia. Through a chance meeting they are invited to travel on
board the private jet of billionaire Lazlo Carreidas. But then they
fall victim to a plot to kidnap Carreidas and are captured by
Tintin's arch enemy Rastapopoulos. Join the most iconic character
in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning
historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still
selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been
adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson
in 2011. The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90
years after they first found their way into publication. Since then
more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic
books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the
21st century as they did in the early 20th. Herge (Georges Remi)
was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he
completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which
is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest,
comics series of all time. Have you collected all the graphic novel

Ster bly by haar broer en sy vrou op 'n plaas. Een nag word sy wakker en 'n erdvark staan langs haar bed, sy snoet op die lakens."Kom verken die wreld saam met my," nooi hy. En so neem die erdvark vir Ster op 'n nag van snuffel en ontdek. Hulle gaan op ander nagtelike ontdekkingstogte daarna, want die erdvark wil vir Ster die ander skaam diere wys, die skugter vyf: die erdvark, oewerkonyn, Kaapse luiperd, ietermagog, en wit leeu.
Willem is oor die wreld heen beroemd as speurhond. Maar 'n paar jaar gelede het 'n sending skeefgeloop en het hy in Kaapstad by die DBV beland. Dis waar Adriaan en sy ouers die oulike swart-en-wit spanjoelhondjie raakgeloop het. En van daardie dag af is Adriaan en Willem onafskeidbaar. Hierdie omnibus bevat die eerste drie avonture: hulle reis na Istanbul, Parys en Londen, 'n seerower-avontuur op 'n passasierskip en die Bosveld-vakansie waarin hulle 'n bende renosterstropers vastrap.
Deidre Anker se lewe raak verstrengel met die van ’n bende van vyf seuns wat berug is vir die lewensgevaarlike en ekstreme stunts wat hulle uitvoer en video's daarvan op youtube post. Deur haar ontstuimige verhouding met Louw, begin sy die Branderjaers se geheime ontrafel -soos die feit dat hulle Bloedskuld moet betaal deur dit uit te baklei in die Kring se arena. Daar is ’n prys om te betaal as jy met ’n Branderjaer deurmekaar raak . . .

review
Daniel weier om te glo wat almal s: dat hy ’n skelm is, nes sy pa . . .
Wanneer hy egter ’n meisie in ’n rolstoel op Simonstad se kaai
raaksien en besluit om haar prelhangertjie te steel, beland hy
onverwags op ’n skip wat hom wegvoer na Skulpiesbaai en die
rykman Robert Stanford se plaas. Hy maak kennis met Malgas, ’n
visser wat in die kliphuis bokant die melkhoutbos woon, en Gertjie,
die diensmeisie wat die venynige juffrou Caitlin in haar rolstoel
versorg. Maar wie is die vreemde ou vrou wat saam met die
strandjutwolf langs die see verskyn? En waarom tree Caitlin so
boosaardig op, terwyl sy vrees dat die Seevrou haar gaan kom haal?
Hou dit dalk verband met die wrak van die slaweskip wat daar op die
rotse geloop het? ’n Spannende historiese jeugroman wat
tegelykertyd fantasie, avontuur en spookverhaal is.
Die Bitterbosbende besluit om in die skoolkoor te sing. Maar meneer
Louw is nie die vriendelikste nie en boonop is daar nuwe koorlede
wat Kurt nog nooit in die skool opgemerk het nie en wat blykbaar vir
die res van die bende onsigbaar is. Dan ontdek Nieke 'n stuk papier
met snaakse simbole, amper soos bladmusiek, in haar
geskiedenisboek. Nieke en Kurt besef hulle droom albei oor onaardse
aaklige musiek, en 'n koor van kinders geklee in swart, met aardige
groot koppe . . .
Lotta Liebenberg is tien jaar oud. Haar beste vriendin se naam is
Chantelle, sy hou van pannekoek en sy is MAL oor diere. Maar eintlik
is sy net doodgewoon. Baie meer doodgewoon as haar ouers en haar
tweelingraasbekboeties. Die dagboekstyl en skeeusnaakse
illustrasies sal sorg dat lesers van 8 tot 12 jaar die sjarmante Lotta se
eskapades onweerstaanbaar vind.
In die elfde boek van die Lotta se lewereeks moet Lotta se klas
'n VERSKEIDENHEIDSKONSERT hou! Juffrou Knacker het besluit
wie saam met wie moet werk – en Lotta se spanmaat is Benni! ’n
Rocker! Chantelle doen saam met die Skaapkop LeighAnne
(verraaier!) ’n klomp cool hondetoertjies en Rmi ry op ’n eenwielfiets,
maar Lotta moet HANSWORSSTREKE uithaal. Dis onregverdig!
Dankie tog sy het haar blokfluit om te probeer keer dat haar naam
voor die hele skool met ’n plank geslaan word!
Dit is die een katastrofe n die ander in Lotta se lawwe lewe! Haar
avonture is egter altyd vol pret, humor en verrassings.

uiterste beproef. Hy vra die hulp van die geheimsinnige sifashama
met hul rooi mantels en diep stemme, maar nie een plan werk nie. Op
Ngandu se aandrang, besluit Josh om sy aartsvyand – Masjeba, die
bose heks – in die tronk te besoek. Masjeba gee hom antwoorde oor
die kryger en hoe om haar te verslaan, maar teen 'n prys. Intussen
versterk die professor sy magte. Maar waar in Silvia? Sal sy
Kalimbula bereik voor dit te laat is en alles om Josh in duie stort?

The Odd Box Arcade was certainly nothing shy of odd. It had faulty
electrics that let the games' characters enter the real world at
night, which was great, as long as they made it back in time for
sunrise...
