Tumi Letsatsi is a 15-year old melanin kween living in Rondebosch, Cape Town. Her favourite colour is yellow, she's still trying to figure out how not to dent her afro on the bus, and how one goes about (ahem!) “french kissing”. She’s a little awkward and a lot uncertain about her future, friendships and how to put together a cool outfit! But then she stumbles across the magic of coding and creates an app called “Project Prep” that goes viral and rockets her and her friends to fame. Then everything starts to fall apart, as she deals with a catfish who befriends her and steals her code, nasty rumours at school and the newfound attention of a crush.
The New Girl Code (by Niki Smit, locally edited by Buhle Ngaba) is about the wonders of working in tech, aimed at girls and young women aged 9-15. The project is an initiative of Inspiring Fifty and based on an idea by Janneke Niessen.

'n Jeugverhaal wat ook geskik is vir volwassenes. Met Dolf van
Niekerk se intieme kennis van die kind, skryf hy vanuit 'n kind se
oogpunt oor “die buitestaander/outcast”. Verskeie kwessies wat 'n
kind na aan die hart le word aangeraak, soos: gebroke families,
tekort aan aandag en liefde, drome en standvastigheid. Albert is
eensaam. Hy kom uit 'n gebroke huis waar daar baie gehuil en min
gelag word. Hy ken nie sy stiefma nie en dis asof sy pa net 'n
kuiergas in die huis is. 'n Posduif bring nuwe hoop en opwinding in
sy lewe. Die tuin word sy veilige hawe – die plek waar hy net
homself kan wees en vrylik mag liefhe. 'n Jeugboek wat meer as net
'n ontspanningsboek is. As jou kind hierdie eers gelees het, sal sy
vir die res van haar lewe opkyk as sy die geruis van duifvlerke
hoor. Sy sal deernis he met haar maats wat uit gebroke huise kom,
want sy sal besef dat hulle dit nie maklik in die lewe het nie. Sy
sal nooit net niks kan voel as sy 'n dooie posduif in die pad sien
le nie. As sy dikbek of sleg voel, sal sy uitwyk na die stilte van
die tuin. En as iemand haar drome bedreig, sal sy hulle op 'n
afstand by die diere stilletjies sit en vloek. – Keina Swart
Die Jasper-jeugreeks is die eerste keer uitgegee in 1959 en daar
was verskeie herdrukke. Hierdie is die tiende titel in die
Jasper-reeks. Vir enige kind sal dit ure se genot verskaf, want dit
is 'n boek om te lees en te herlees. Saam met die Viermanskap is
die leser bly oor die sukses wat behaal word en saam met die
vriende word daar getreur oor die brandende sitvlakke! Saam met ‘n
groep kinders van Leliesvlei se hoerskool, en onder toesig van
meneer Basson, gaan Jasper die Wildtuin besoek. Maar op pad
daarheen - en nogal op ‘n steil bergpas en in gietende reen van ‘n
Laeveldse donderstorm - raak die bus waarmee hulle reis onklaar. En
lank nadat die donderstorm bedaar het, staan die logge ou rooi
gevaarte nog al die tyd langs die pad, te steeks om ‘n wiel te
verroer. Intussen begin dit reeds donker word en meneer Basson word
onrustig. Nou nie heeltemal met meneer Basson se toestemming nie,
besluit Jasper en sy drie maats dat hulle die wereld moet gaan
verken en kyk of hulle nie hulp kan kry nie. En ja werklik, voordat
hulle baie ver gevorder het, hoor hulle die gedreun van ‘n
vragmotor, wat hulle na ‘n afgesonderde plaashuis lei. Omhul deur
die waas van geheimsinnigheid, le die huis tussen die bosse, sonder
‘n lig of enige ander teken van lewe, behalwe die vragmotor wat
daar staan. Jasper se kort hare gaan staan nog regopper as
gewoonlik, maar hy besluit om deur te druk met sy ondersoek. Hy is
immers die leier van die Viermanskap. Maar hy moes liewer net daar
omgedraai en teruggestap het skoolbus toe. Dit sou beter gewees het
vir almal … Kom deel in die avonture van Jasper!

that's a secret. In the fourth book in the series, a sad little
seal pup arrives at the zoo. But how can Zoe welcome him to the zoo

groter is as jou duim. Maar hoe kom sy daar? Toe haar klein pes van

haar die antwoord! Haar eerste probeerslag loop egter skeef, en so
amper word sy die prooi van die buurvrou se kat. Wanneer haar
toordery wel ’n tweede keer slaag, kry sy nie met ’n kat te doen
nie, maar met ’n veel gevaarliker vyand wat die Lilliputters se
lewens daagliks bedreig. Sal sy daarin slaag om hulle te help?
I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must
feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding
hullabaloo. Sylvia Plath's groundbreaking semi-autobiographical
novel offers an intimate, honest and often wrenching glimpse into
mental illness. The Bell Jar broke the boundaries between fiction
and reality and helped cement Sylvia Plath's place as an enduring
feminist icon. Celebrated for its darkly humorous, razor sharp
portrait of 1950s society, it continues to resonate with readers
today as testament to the universal human struggle to claim one's
rightful place in the world. A special illustrated edition - the
second book in our collection of illustrated Faber classics.
