soon finds the body of her beloved twin . . . desecrated beyond
belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to find her sister's killer and
to seek vengeance at any cost-even if it means using dark magic
that's been long forbidden. Then Emilia meets Wrath, one of the
Wicked-princes of Hell she has been warned against in tales since
she was a child. Wrath claims to be on Emilia's side, tasked by his
master with solving the series of women's murders on the island.
But when it comes to the Wicked, nothing is as it seems . . .
Gertie is a prime example of a goose who thinks she knows best but

herself out of a sticky situation. For ages 3-8 years old. This
sweet, entertaining story with beautiful hand drawn illustrations,

do something, it's usually for good reason! This book helps promote
the idea of the wisdom of elders, whilst growing independence and
confidence in one's own abilities, in a bedtime story that everyone
can enjoy.

Gewoonlik ondersoek Kwaaikofski nie sake wat iets met honde te doen het nie – dit is vir beginners. As die stad se ander speurders moet uitvind hy loop agter ’n vermiste hond aan, skaam hy hom morsdood! Maar hierdie keer is dit ’n uitsondering – Masker Mike se reusehond, Wotan, is net so geheimsinnig en buitengewoon soos sy eienaar. Maar wie beskuldig vir Wotan van allerlei wandade? Is dit net ’n manier om van hom ontslae te raak, of probeer iemand vir Masker Mike bykom? Speurder Kwaaikofski stel ondersoek in. Die intriges van die stories in hierdie reeks is eenvoudig, maar uiters vermaaklik en die humoristiese illustrasies sal sorg dat kinders dol sal wees oor hierdie koddige, maar brawe klein speurder se avonture!
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."

Jennifer’s Body meets Heartstopper in this terrifying, tender, and
bitingly hilarious supernatural horror about a boy who must save his
best friend from a demon that wants to steal his heart—literally.
Ren says he’s in love, but Colin knows better.
Sure, he can't remember much about how it all began. But he remembers
dancing at a club he and Ren were too young to dance in. He remembers
the boys who harassed them on their way home. He remembers a ghost
emerging from the trees, and a white hand reaching for Ren through a
thick fog. What Colin can’t remember is what happened next. Only two
things are clear to him: Ren is different now, and the new guy vying
for his heart is not who he claims to be.
With the help of two unlikely allies and a cranky old medium, Colin
must learn to conquer his self-doubt and save his best friend from a
love that could cost him his life.
Equal parts campy and bewitching, Corey Liu’s debut YA novel explores
predation, isolation, and what happens when a childhood dream of
fairytale romance turns into a deadly nightmare.
An American teen stranded in London is forced to team up with the British crown prince if she wants to make it back home before the end of the world in this delightfully rompy high-stakes rom-com.
Wren Wheeler has flown five thousand miles across the ocean to discover she’s the worst kind of traveler: the kind who just wants to go home. Her senior-year trip to London was supposed to be life-changing, but by the last day, Wren’s perfectly-planned itinerary is in tatters. There's only one item left to check off: breakfast at The World’s End restaurant. The one thing she can still get right.
The restaurant is closed for renovations―of course―but there's a boy there, too. A very cute boy with a posh British accent who looks remarkably like the errant Prince Theo, on the run from the palace and his controlling mother. When Wren helps him escape a pack of tourists, the Prince scribbles down his number and offers her one favor in return. She doesn’t plan to take him up on it―until she gets to the airport and sees cancelled flights and chaos. A comet is approaching Earth, and the world is ending in eight days. Suddenly, that favor could be her only chance to get home to her family before the end of the world.
Wren strikes a bargain with the runaway prince: if she’ll be his bodyguard from London to his family’s compound in Santorini, he can charter her a private jet home in time to say goodbye. Traveling through Europe by boat, train, and accidentally stolen automobile, Wren finds herself drawn to the dryly sarcastic, surprisingly vulnerable Theo. But the Prince has his own agenda, one that could derail both their plans. When life as they know it will be over in days, is it possible to find a happy ending?
