Have you ever met a cat whisperer? When you peruse the pages of this wonderful book of poems and sketches by Tony Ridgway, you will also have the honor of meeting a true life, self-proclaimed cat whisperer! And who are we to argue with that? You see, only a cat could tell us if Tony is indeed a cat whisperer!

It seems we will just have to take his word for it that he is indeed a true life cat whisperer, as we go through each page of this delightful book, certain to please anyone who has ever loved a cat. And isn‛t that most of us?

Reminiscent of the style of e.e. cummings, but with his very own voice, Tony Ridgway talks to the cat (or kitten) in all of us.

As Rietrot moet jy jou plek ken, besef Daniël du Randt met die intrapslag in Rietvallei Hoër. Almal sê daar bestaan nie iets soos ontgroening nie, maar hierdie matrieks het duidelik nog nie die boodskap gekry nie. Gelukkig het hy vriende soos Malebo, Antonie en Giovanni, want Peet Pretorius eet graad 8’s vir ontbyt en spoeg hulle soos fyngekoude grate uit.

Een vir een. Wanneer Daniël en Malebo een nag uit die koshuis glip en hulle vasloop in ’n skelm – wat vir Peet soos ’n lammetjie laat lyk – begin hulle probleme werklik. Moet hulle vir iemand daarvan vertel? Kan hulle dit waag? Sê nou daardie ou kom een donker nag terug om sy dreigemente uit te voer? Hoërskool is beslis nie vir sissies nie!

Hy se net: “Vandag maak ek Maalvleis van die een wie se wiskunde nie gedoen is nie!” Maar wat meneer Vermaak nie weet nie, is dat Mia besig is om 'n boek oor hipnose te lees... En dat sy selfs onbeskofte wiskunde-onderwysers allerhande toertjies kan laat doen!

Henning van Aswegen skryf volkstories en kinderverhale oor die Vrystaat se hartlike mense en interessante diertjies wat hy tydens sy ongebonde grootwordjare langs Virginia se magtige Sandrivier teëgekom het.

In Vrystaatstories ontmoet die leser vir Mossieman en Geronkie die Donkie wat die niksvermoedende inwoners van die Vrystaat onderwerp aan avonture en poetse, meesal met onvoorspelbare en humoristiese gevolge.

Elke storie en elke skets is oorspronklik, uniek en humoristies – en is geskik vir kinders van 8-80 jaar.

Kinders leer om nie ander kinders af te knou nie (bullying); om kinders en diere met respek te behandel, om teen niemand te diskrimineer nie, en nie lelik en afbrekend met ander te praat nie.

Selfs die kleinste diertjies in die stories soos Mys die Muis, Spinne Spinnekop en ‘n Dowe Paddatjie word met respek en empatie behandel.

In Vrystaatstories word lesers deel van die karakters se koeterwaals en manewales!

Can she raise a sibling and finish school? When her beloved grandmother dies, 17-year-old Khosi must learn to survive on her own. She has to take care of her little sister, Zi, while making a living as a traditional healer, and somehow try to finish school. When violence flares up again in Imbali, the township near Pietermaritzburg, Khosi finds herself at the centre of the storm. A taxi war threatens the safety of every person in Imbali, including Khosi's best friend and boyfriend, Little Man. The body of a murdered man is dumped on her doorstep. Accusations of witchcraft swirl around her, despite her every effort to keep her healing practice above board. When Little Man chooses the wrong path, Khosi builds a new romance, but her past might catch up with her. This is the sequel to Powers' award-winning novel This Thing Called the Future. In Under Water, we meet Khosi three years after the end of the first book. Can Khosi be a part of change in her community? And can she raise her sister while finishing school? There are few young-adult books that deal with raising a sibling. This one tackles that situation head on. Under Water is the sequel to This Thing Called the Future, a multiple-award-winning young-adult book that is being published in South Africa at the same time as Under Water. In the first book Khosi hears about, and experiences, feelings of being trapped under water while the ancestors try to speak to her. The sequel explains her journey into the future.
