In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life ― just in time for the holidays.
Though I, Timmy Failure, have solved many notorious crimes and now wish to enjoy my retirement, my fans have begged me to turn my memoirs into a movie, an ode to my greatness. I am, however, beset by enemies, the worst of whom is Tom John John, the buffoonish movie director.
What’s more, my father is in town, working at a bar, which is obviously just a cover for our father-son crime-fighting partnership. And my dim-witted polar bear business partner, Total, wants to be reunited with his family. I should have known it would end like this. I expected more.
Kya Rothman het nog altyd haar diamanthalssnoer as haar kosbaarste
besitting beskou. Haar ouers het dit met haar geboorte vir haar gegee,
en die legende sê dat dit vervloek is. Kya het nooit veel waarde aan
die stories geheg nie, selfs nie toe haar ma die dag ná haar geboorte
oorlede is nie – die dag nadat haar pa die diamant gekoop het.
Maar wanneer haar pa vals beskuldig word van die moord op sy beste
vriend en hul lewens in duie stort, begin Kya wonder of daar dalk meer
aan die legende is as wat sy gedink het. In ’n poging om haar pa se
naam skoon te kry, wend sy haar tot meneer Cohen, ’n ou
familievriend met ’n winkel vol geheime. Daar ontmoet sy Eddie Nonnies,
en ’n intense vonk skiet tussen hulle.
Saam moet Kya en Eddie deur ’n web van intrige en gevaar vaar om die
waarheid te ontdek. Terwyl hulle probeer om Kya se pa te red, moet
hulle ook hul eie lewens – en die geheimsinnige diamant – beskerm.
Aksie, romanse en raaisels verweef in ’n onvergeetlike
avontuur wat jou op die punt van jou stoel sal hou.
In hierdie sesde avontuur is Adriaan en Willem nader aan eie bodem
aan die werk: in Nambie moet hulle ’n bende diamantsmokkelaars help
vasvat. Maar hier moet hulle met ’n ander betroemde speurhond
saamwerk: sersant-majoor Maximiliaan. Hulle is net nie so seker of
hy en sy patrolliemaat, konstabel Kolgans, vertrou kan word nie ...
Die ander titels is Speurhond Willem op reis, Speurhond Willem en
die seerowers, Speurhond Willem en die wilddiewe en Speurhond

hopes so--and his life may depend on it
Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged
his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his
personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent." In fact, Ben is
so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap.
Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is
recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science--but he's
entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front
for a junior C.I.A. academy. Could the C.I.A. really want him?
Actually, no. There's been a case of mistaken identity--but that
doesn't stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover
agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of
hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a
halfway decent spy...if he can survive all the attempts being made
on his life

Winner of the Costa Book of the Year 2015. The Lie Tree is a
wonderfully evocative and atmospheric novel by Frances Hardinge,
award-winning author of Cuckoo Song and Fly By Night. It is read by
star of BBC's Silent Witness Emilia Fox with an approximate running
time of 12 hours. Faith's father has been found dead under
mysterious circumstances, and as she is searching through his
belongings for clues she discovers a strange tree. The tree only
grows healthy and bears fruit if you whisper a lie to it. The fruit
of the tree, when eaten, will deliver a hidden truth to the person
who consumes it. The bigger the lie, the more people who believe
it, the bigger the truth that is uncovered. The girl realizes that
she is good at lying and that the tree might hold the key to her
father's murder, so she begins to spread untruths far and wide
across her small island community. But as her tales spiral out of
control, she discovers that where lies seduce, truths shatter ...

movies, at a birthday party, and with someone to tell about her
crush-in short, with a friend. But there's more to Erin than her
cheerful exterior, and Sara begins to wonder if helping Erin will
mean sacrificing their friendship.
