Die Jasper-jeugreeks is die eerste keer uitgegee in 1959 en daar
was verskeie herdrukke. Hierdie is die agste titel in die
Jasper-reeks. Jasper en Mossie kry die opwindende geleentheid om
saam met ’n jaggeselskap Bosveld toe te gaan. Hulle slaap in tente,
maak koffie oor ’n vuur en hou snags wag sodat wilde diere nie die
kampterrein binnekom nie. Jasper wil egter graag saam met die
grootmanne jag, maar blykbaar is hy nog te jonk. Hy stem dus gretig
in toe die inboorlinge sy hulp vra om die wreedaardige leeu, wat
chaos in hul stat veroorsaak, te vang. Maar is die dorpsjapie
opgewasse vir so ’n groot taak?
Uit pure agtelosigheid lees Lillie op 'n dag hardop uit haar
towerboek. Asof sy teen die tyd nie van beter weet nie! Heeltemal
onverwags en onvoorbereid beland sy in die middel van 'n oerwoud.
Die oerwoudstam wat haar aanvanklik gevange neem, is onder die
indruk dat sy 'n toordokter is en versoek haar om na hul verlore
skat te gaan soek. Met net 'n raaisel as roetebeskrywing, gaan
Lillie op die soektog na die goue grot. Sal Lillie dit vind, en hoe
sal sy weer kan huis toe kom sonder haar speelmuisie by haar? Of is
Lillie vir altyd in die oerwoud gestrand?

There's a place where all the wildest stories began . From Katherine
Rundell, winner of the Costa Children's Book Award, the Blue Peter Book
Award and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize comes the first novel
in a landmark trilogy for 9+ fans of His Dark Materials
Christopher is stunned when he discovers a passage to the Archipelago:
a cluster of magical islands where all the creatures of myth still live
and breed and thrive in their thousands. There he meets Mal: a girl
from the islands, who is in possession of a flying coat and a baby
griffin, and who is being pursued by a killer. Together they embark on
an urgent quest to discover why the creatures are suddenly perishing,
voyaging across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where sphinxes
hold secrets and centaurs do murder, in a bid to save both the islands
and the world beyond them from a rising evil - before it's too late.
This illustrated adaptation of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling memoir, I Am Malala, introduces readers of 7+ to the remarkable story of a teenage girl who risked her life for the right to go to school.
Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for her beliefs. When terrorists took control of her region and declared that girls were forbidden from going to school, Malala refused to sacrifice her education. And on 9 October 2012, she nearly paid the ultimate price for her courage when she was shot on her way home from school.
The book follows Malala's incredible journey to recovery in the aftermath of the attack, from the life-saving surgery she receives in a Birmingham hospital to her reunion with her family and their eventual relocation to England. Today Malala is a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism is more timely now than ever.

seemed worth it, but now her happiness and safety in the realm are
threatened. The Furies have discovered that John has broken one of
their strictest rules and revived a dead soul. If the balance of
life and death isn't restored, both the Underworld and Pierce's
home on Earth will be wiped out by the Furies' wrath. Pierce has
already cheated death once . . . can she do it again?
