Hilarious, touching and thought-provoking, Hoot is a modern classic, now celebrating its fifteenth anniversary. Winner of the Newbery Honor award and a New York Times bestseller, Carl Hiaasen's first novel celebrates the natural world with his trademark wit and warmth.
Roy Eberhardt never wanted to move to Florida. In his opinion, Disney World is an armpit.
Roy’s family moves around a lot so he’s used to the new-kid drill – he's also used to bullies like Dana Matherson. And anyway, it’s because of Dana that Roy gets to see the mysterious running boy who runs away from the school bus and who has no books, no backpack and, most bizarrely, no shoes.
Sensing a mystery, Roy starts to trail the mystery runner – a chase that will introduce him to many weird Floridian creatures: potty-trained alligators, cute burrowing owls, a fake-fart champion, a shoeless eco-warrior, a sinister pancake PR man, new friends and some snakes with sparkly tails. As the plot thickens, Roy and his friends realise it's up to them to save the endangered owls from the evil Mother Paula's pancake company who are planning to build a new restaurant on their home . . .
Devon, 1941. Bonnie wants to help in the war effort like her

mission to uncover his secrets begins. Why is he here? Is he a
shirker? Or worse ... a German spy?

Wikus Lombaard is 'n nice ou. Hy is kaptein van die eerste
rugbyspan en met sy dodelike skopskoen het hy sy span al meermale
uit die verknorsing gered. En sy meisie, Marissa, is die mooiste in
die skool. En al sukkel Wikus nou so 'n bietjie met die wiskunde,
is dit ook nie die ergste nie. Met Marissa by hom en die rugby wat
voorle, is dinge doodreg – hy weet mos immers waaroor dit gaan in
die lewe, veral noudat hy in die vakansie met sy suster se vriendin
gevry het – behoorlik gevry. All-the-way. Maar in hierdie laaste
skooljaar van hom, kort voor sy deelname aan die Cravenweek, loop
dinge skeef. Lelik skeef. Vir die eerste keer ontdek Wikus dat die
lewe ook reels het. En dat dit nie net in rugby is dat 'n ou van
die veld afgejaag kan word nie.
Jodi never asked to be a Thrasher – a member of the high school elite.
But Jodi has been best friends with Zack Thrasher her whole life, and
like it or not, that means she’s branded a Thrasher by the rest of the
school. And different as she feels to the other four Thrashers – all
talented, privileged and beautiful – she can’t help appreciating her
social status, especially compared to her violent home life.
But being a Thrasher isn’t worth dying for – except, apparently, it was
to Emily Mills. Sweet but intense Emily, whose fixation on Zack brought
her close to the in-crowd, but never close enough. Emily, who took her
own life on prom night.
When a detective finds a copy of Emily’s diary, there are whispers that
she was ‘Thrashed’ – bullied to death by Zack and his gang. They are
arrested, charged, and ostracised, their once bright futures
extinguished. Then begin the texts from unfamiliar numbers,
inexplicable light flares, the run of bad luck that becomes a string of
near-fatal accidents… and the constant dreams of Emily.
But something isn’t adding up. The diary is too convenient. In fact,
it’s filled with Jodi’s own secrets, repurposed by Emily. But why?
One thing is clear. Emily isn’t done with the Thrashers.
