The epic second book in the action-packed and empowering
middle-grade superhero series. Perfect for 8+ fans of Percy
Jackson, Amari and the Night Brothers and Black Panther. Soon to be
a feature film with a major streamer! Power bursts through my body,
and I gasp as my hair shoots out like an avenging sword. It slashes
a line through the wooden decking of the walkway. With a deafening
crack, the wood breaks apart, splintering with the force of the
impact. Having uncovered head teacher Dr Doyinbo's hidden agenda
behind the Academy of the Sun, Onyeka and her friends are on the
run. But they've got bigger problems to worry about - they
desperately need to find a way to restore Niyi's Ike superpower and
they need to locate Onyeka's missing parents. When their last safe
house is uncovered, Onyeka turns to the only potential allies they
have left; the Rogues, a group of rebels that have been trying to
expose Dr Doyinbo's lies for years. Joining forces, will the two
groups be able to defeat their shared nemesis, or is there a new

New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kibuishi says of Lightfall:
"Beautifully drawn. Tim Probert has created a world readers will
want to visit." For fans of Amulet and middle grade readers who
love sweeping worlds like Star Wars, the first book of the
Lightfall series introduces Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends who
get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into
eternal darkness. Deep in the heart of the planet Irpa stands the
Salty Pig's House of Tonics & Tinctures, home of the wise Pig
Wizard and his adopted granddaughter, Bea. As keepers of the
Endless Flame, they live a quiet and peaceful life, crafting
medicines and potions for the people of their once-prosperous
world. All that changes one day when, while walking through the
woods, Bea meets Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race
thought to be long-extinct. Cad believes that if anyone can help
him find his missing people, it's the Pig Wizard. But when the two
arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found-all that's left
is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. Fearing for the
Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find him,
while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light.
Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and
prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa
truly seen its last sunrise? Praise for Lightfall Kirkus Best Books

Henry Bogget is an ordinary boy of just eight years old, and Henry
has a secret. A secret that has been kept for many, many years. A
secret about magic in London... In England, whenever someone
changes the world and leaves their mark on history, a little round
blue plaque is placed on the house where they once lived to make
sure they can never be forgotten. With every discovery made,
artwork painted or song written, a little trace of very powerful
magic, an enchantment, is left behind. One night, not too long ago,
Henry discovered this secret and his life changed forever. An
adventure beyond his wildest dreams was about to begin.
Momo, ’n klein, verflenterde dogtertjie, woon aan die rand van ’n groot stad in die ruïne van ’n amfiteater.
Sy besit niks buiten dit wat sy vind of wat sy van ander ontvang nie, maar sy het ’n buitengewone gawe: Sy luister werklik na ander en gee vir hulle tyd. Een dag ruk die gruwelike grys menere met hulle loodgrys aktetasse en sigare in die groot stad op en begin om die kosbare tyd van die mense te steel.
Momo is die enigste een wat die donker mag van die tyddiewe kan beteuel.
