Just until the rehab stint is over . . .

Set up high on the cliffs, in the grounds of a ruined monastery,
overlooking the dreary town of Blinkton-on-Sea, is the otherwise
unremarkable Blinkton High School. Here resides the enigmatic Inky
Stevens - a talented and astute student, better known as "the Great
School Detective." What appears to be a trivial search for a
missing set of keys soon turns much more sinister with our hero
facing mortal danger. Will Inky unlock this case and find the key
to his survival or will he meet a horrific end?
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.

THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVILÂ is now a major motion picture
from Netflix, starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Kerry
Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Cate
Blanchett, and many more! The third book in the series –
this magical fantasy adventure delivers action, romance and more
twists than ever before. Former best friends Sophie and Agatha
thought their fairy tale’s ending was sealed when they went their
separate ways, each in the arms of a boy. But their storybook is
about to be rewritten, and, this time, theirs isn't the only one.
With the girls apart, Evil has taken over and the villains of the
past have come back to turn the world of Good and Evil upside down.
With the forces of Good in deathly peril, Agatha and Sophie must
work together to restore balance. Will they find their way to being
friends again? And will their new ending be the last Ever After
they've been searching for?
Penny's abusive father is dead…but she still hears his voice in her
head, encouraging her to hurt those around her. She can't go to school
or be around her friends or even draw with a sharp pencil without her
intrusive thoughts urging her toward violence. Desperate to get a
handle on her OCD, she agrees to spend the summer at Camp Whitewood―an
exclusive therapy retreat in the woods.
She feels optimistic when she arrives. The other girls all have their
reasons for being there, which makes Penny feel a little less alone.
But then she starts seeing things that can't possibly be there: the
gold watch her father was buried with, his favorite whiskey spilled on
her cabin floor...a terrifying figure she calls the Shadow Man looming
at the foot of her bed. Penny thinks she is losing her mind, but when a
girl goes missing, and is later found dead, it's clear that whatever is
happening at Camp Whitewood isn't all in her head.
As the hallucinations become increasingly intense and more girls wind
up dead, Penny must work with whoever is left standing to figure out
what is real before the Shadow Man uses their traumas against them and
claims their lives.
