Om te leer lees is een van die grootste avonture wat op enige kind wag - en Krok en Dil is die perfekte maats om die opwindende reis mee aan te pak! Die nuwe leesreeks uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs stel kinders deur middel van prettige stories aan verskillende klanke bekend. Die reeks het 'n sterk strokiesprent-aanslag, met volop spraakborrels en fantastiese volkleurillustrasies deur Nadia du Plessis, en die twee onwaarskynlike beste maats, 'n knorrige krokodil en 'n lewenslustige komkommertjie, sal dadelik in beginnerlesers se harte kruip. Jaco is self die pa van twee dogtertjies, Mia (9) en Emma (7), wat die afgelope paar jaar leer lees het, en hy se een van die grootste struikelblokke was om toeganklike beginnerleesboeke op te spoor. "My kinders het grootgeword met stories - van die heel lekkerste storieboeke in Afrikaans en Engels wat aan hulle voorgelees is. Dit was daarom vir hulle baie frustrerend as beginnerleesboeke net op die klanke fokus, sonder 'n sterk, vermaaklike storielyn. Dit is waarom ek die Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat vir lesers - en ouers! - 'n prettige storie in elke boek bied, met hope humor."

When portals to parallel dimensions open up, the gang meet different versions of themselves - a whole universe of Bunnies! Evil Pig! Baby Bunny vs Monkey! The gang end up travelling to the very ends of existence . . . but will they make it back home to the Woods?

ONLY THE SHARPEST WILL SURVIVE

“Court is filled with charming vipers,” I said, chin lifted.

“But charming or not, we are vipers all the same.”

In the Kingdom of Daradon, a persecuted few are Wielders – able to exert a physical power that extends beyond their visible body: a shimmering tendril that can pick a lock, a gentle coil that reaches out to give a loving caress, or an inexorable rope that will kill a man before he knows it is around his neck. Feared and mistrusted for this ability, Wielders have always been Hunted.

Alissa Paine – heiress of a noble lineage, daughter of a Hunter family – is also a Wielder. And as she approaches her eighteenth Season, Alissa knows she has escaped execution so far only through painful self-control, and the fragile efforts of her beloved father.

Summoned to the harsh and glittering royal court for the debutante season, Alissa finds herself trapped in a web of hidden intentions – and caught between two equally dangerous men. One is a brutal ruler with the handsome face of a fairytale prince, who would see her destroyed in an instant if the truth were known – and the other a beguiling foreign ambassador with secret agendas of his own.

It’s Rose Season at the palace, but Alissa knows that survival will depend on being the most vicious of the thorns…
