Suddenly the tram gave a jolt and he stumbled forward, sending the oranges flying in all directions. The girl simply hopped off the tram leaving Georg's father with arms full of oranges. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity.

Hannah is vasgekeer.

Tussen die boom se blare waar sy soms vir haar lewe wegkruip en per ongeluk vir Lua, die coolste meisie wat sy ken, afloer. Sy is vas tussen die soet geure van haar ma se koekskeppings en haar uitgewaste jeans. Vas tussen haar pa se rugbesering terwyl hy plastiek-warlord speel en die wêreld vanuit sy studeerkamer probeer red. Vas in haar onvermoë om haarself te laat geld. Sy is moeg vir wegkruip, moeg om die enigste agter-die-klip-tiener te wees en te vries wanneer sy moet vlieg.

Tot Lua onverwags ʼn paar ou rolskaatse vir Hannah gee en haar help om kelnerin by die akwarium se koffiewinkel te word.

Hannah kom voor ʼn keuse te staan: veg, vlug of vries?

Sy kies! Sy kyk video’s oor hoe om bo te bly, want skaats gaan sy skaats. Die De Lange-broers kruis haar pad. Leo leer haar skaats, Ben wys haar die dolfyne en Hannah se vlerke kry vere.

Sy vlieg en wanneer sy land ... land sy op wiele!

Perfect for fans of The Handmaid’s Tale and Anna-Marie McLemore.

Being a part of the resistance group La Voz is an act of devotion and desperation. On the other side of Medio’s border wall, the oppressed class fights for freedom and liberty, sacrificing what little they have to become defenders of the cause.

There she must reckon with her beloved leader, who is under the influence of an aggressive new recruit, and with the devastating news that her true love might be the target of an assassination plot. Will Carmen break with her community and save the girl who stole her heart—or fully embrace the ruthless rebel she was always meant to be?

If someone were to say 'it's not tennis', or 'not football' of shabby behaviour in any walk of life, he or she would not be understood. If they said 'it's not cricket', they probably would be (though less reliably than a century ago). Is there some special spirit of cricket? The laws of cricket, like the laws of the land, aim at a sort of justice or balancing between different factions. The purpose behind cricket's laws, and behind changes in them, is often to calibrate the balance in the game between batsmen and bowlers, between attack and defence, between safety and risk. Cricketing lawmakers are interested in the overall appeal of the game to players and spectators alike. In Spirit of Cricket, Mike Brearley alternates between issues and examples within the game - from 'Mankading' and the 'Sandpaper' affair to sledging, mental disintegration and racism - as well as broader issues such as the spirit and letter of the law. Brearley examines the issue of how far what purports to be justice (in law or in spirit) may or may not be the expression of the powerful within the activity or within society. He also contrasts cheating and corruption, and reflects on the nature of penalties in regard to each. He discusses the significance of the notion of the spirit of the game for umpires, groundsmen, administrators, media and spectators - and, of course, for players. Intelligent and insightful, Spirit of Cricket points to qualities in cricket that enhance our development as people - including a sense of fair play, the embracing of striving both for our team and for ourselves and the important values of playfulness in life and professional sport.
