The highly anticipated, #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to One of Us Is Lying! There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole new set of rules.

Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this.

A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts.

Until now.

This time it's not an app, though—it's a game.

Truth or Dare.

Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark.

Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare.

But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection.

Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And this time, there's a whole new set of rules.

And don't miss Two Can Keep a Secret, another "must-read YA thriller" from Karen M. McManus (Bustle)!

'Compelling debut. Introduces a significant new voice--has something of the shock effect of Piers Torday's There May Be a Castle and the raw force of Patrick Ness's A Monster Calls.' SUNDAY TIMES CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK.'An astonishing exploration of grief and love and wildness.' Hilary McKay. A tale of loss that is also a gripping thriller, a realistic study of grief that skirts the margins of fantasy, it walks wolf-like between worlds and genres. Richard Lambert writes with a poet's eye; he has created something magical here. The storytelling is as bold, sinewy and uncompromising as the beast that shadows Lucas in the mountains above his home. This is a wonderful read and the advent of an exciting new voice in children's fiction. JONATHAN STROUD; A stunning, special debut about love and loss and how the wildness can save us. CHELSEY FLOOD; A smart chilling page-turner that kept me guessing right up to the end. HAYLEY LONG An insightful novel about bereavement, but also about what growing up might involve in a world that actually needs wolves. The Wolf Road is exciting, necessary reading. MONIZA ALVI; Moving, menacing, written with cinematic clarity .ANDREW COWAN

Sanri Steyn droom daarvan om eendag 'n joernalis te word. En nie sommer enige joernalis nie. Haar naam sal op almal se lippe wees ... Superjoernalis Sanri Steyn. Sy het nie verniet haar eie koerant, die Raaiselfontein Gazette, begin nie. Op die dorpie Raaiselfontein beleef Sanri en haar beste vriend, Markus, allerlei vreemde avonture - as daar nie ruimtewesens oorkant die straat intrek nie, probeer iemand die hele skool se kinders in zombies verander! Die aweregse humor en lekker grillerige avonture in hierdie gewilde reeks sal seuns en meisies vasgenael hou!

Vir die eerste keer is die eerste vier Sanri-stories nou in een lekkerlees-omnibus beskikbaar! Dit sluit in:

1: Doktor Zombos se geheime formule

Sanri droom daarvan om eendag 'n joernalis te word - en toe sy en haar ma na die klein dorpie Raaiselfontein trek, besluit sy om haar eie koerant te begin. Die Raaiselfontein Gazette sal propvol opwindende nuus wees. Maar sommer gou vind Sanri uit alles is nie pluis op Raaiselfontein nie. Waarom tree almal so vreemd op? En wat het die lekkergoedfabriek daarmee te doen? Saam met haar nuwe vriend, Markus, besluit Sanri om die geheim te probeer ontrafel …

2: Die aliens oorkant die straat

Toe daar nuwe intrekkers oorkant die straat is, begin Sanri se neus kriewel - soos altyd wanneer sy 'n lekker sappige storie ruik. Hoekom trek die nuwe mense een nag tydens 'n woeste donderstorm in? Waarom ry hulle met so 'n vreemde borrelkar? En waarom tree die twee kinders met hulle silwerwit hare so snaaks op? Sanri is seker hulle nuwe bure is aliens. Sy moet net die bewyse kry, anders kan sy vergeet daarvan om 'n storie daaroor te skryf.

3: Die seun met die superkat-kragte

Sanri se neus begin kriewel toe sy die nuwe seun in hulle klas ontmoet. Felix tree baie vreemd op - hy klouter oor mure, eet regte vissies op sy pousebrood ... en hy het 'n ongelooflike geheim! Kort voor lank is daar groot moeilikheid op Raaiselfontein. 'n Nare rotskurk en sy weermag van rotte beplan om die dorp oor te neem.

4: Die spookmeisie van Raaiselfontein

Sanri is teen hierdie tyd gewoond daaraan dat vreemde dinge op Raaiselfontein gebeur. Toe brille links en regs begin wegraak, kry sy dadelik snuf in die neus. Dan maak Sanri en Markus kennis met 'n spookmeisie - en sy het hulle hulp nodig.

When Curtis Brooks starts receiving phone calls from his older brother Wilt, who's been dead a week, he's sure it's to help him find evidence that will lead to a murderer's arrest. But Wilt claims he wasn't murdered; his calling, meant to help him adjust, is standard protocol for newly deceased at the Aftermart--a kind of inescapable, ever-expanding Walmart filled with discontinued products. Wilt's death ruled a homicide, Curtis embarks on a dangerous plan to find the killer, which soon has him scheming against a billionaire and floundering toward love with his brother's ex-girlfriend Suzy, all while struggling through high school and his single mom's poor choices. Why does Wilt help Curtis win over Suzy, even as he organizes a rebellion at the Aftermart? Who'd wanted him dead? Curtis risks his life to answer these questions, in the process forging a bond with his brother unlike any they've ever had.

Eers het hy en Hannes 'n nagmerrieondervinding in 'n hyser en dan word hy vir 'n week lank geskors omdat hy die ou drel van 'n Piet Senekal geslaan het. Thomas se pa is so kwaad hieroor, dat hy hom verbied om naby enige rekenaar te kom en hom vir 'n week lank hok! Dit beteken dat Thomas die interhuisdans gaan misloop - sy enigste kans om vir Alex amptelik te vra om sy meisie te wees.
