Robbie Ramkat is die nuwe suksesreeks van die uiters gewilde
jeugskrywer Marc de Bel. Die Robbie ramkat-reeks (Roesty Spetter in
Nederlands) was vanaf hierdie eerste boek 'n groot sukses in
Nederland en Vlaandere. Met die vertaling in Afrikaans gaan die
effens vet maar dapper kat – op sy dag die “Kampioenkat van die
jaar” – nou ook die harte van jong Suid-Afrikaanse lesers verower.
Die bal van Bil Jart is die tweede boek in die geillustreerde reeks
van Marc de Bel. Kieta, Robbie se vriendinnetjie, gaan trek. Haar
eienaar moet die huurhuis verlaat omdat hy nie geld het om dit te
koop nie. 'n Groot jammerte, want dit hoef glad nie 'n probleem te
gewees het nie. Die man besit iets baie waardevols: Die bal van Bil
Jart, 'n unieke tennisbal met 'n handtekening daarop. Hierdie
kosbare bal is egter gesteel. Kieta is raadop...en Robbie is reg
vir aksie.

returns to the house and rapes her. Held silent by his threats,
darkness begins to engulf her. But the rape proves to be the least
of Hope's troubles. In a gasping attempt at normalcy, she succumbs
to the attention of a smooth-talking man on the subway. He promises
acceptance. He declares his love. He lures her out from under the
shelter of her suburban life.
Hope's disappearance sets a community in motion. She's one of their
own. They determine to find Hope, whatever the cost, before she's

Set back in the days WHEN DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH, this is a
hilarious picture-book about Smallasaurus, who enjoys a plant-based
diet, and Badasaurus who likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a
plant-based diet. It all begins when Smallasaurus has to think. And
thinking can be a problem when you only have a brain the size of a
walnut. Luckily, Badasaurus only has a brain the size of a peanut .
. . and so begins a hilarious game of 'cat and mouse'. It's not
long before their chasing here, there and everywhere attracts the
attention of an absolutely enormous and rather hungry meat-eating
dinosaur called Worseasaurus. A choice of two dinosaurs is just
what Worseasaurus loves for breakfast. Will she eat the small
dinosaur, with a plant-based diet?Or will she eat the great big
dinosaur, with a small-dinosaur-based diet? It doesn't take long
for her to choose. And it doesn't take long for Badasaurus to find
out. And that's how it sometimes was back in the days . . . WHEN
DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH.
Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, this "sweet and
funny" (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen
rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet
obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her
untouchable crush. Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart
to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never
really saw her before he moved away. Now that he's back in town,
Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar-and maybe snag
him as a prom date-even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly
attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for
romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz's
butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated
lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes
and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz's in. But as
Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have
her magical prom moment, she's shocked to discover that she likes
being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must
reexamine everything she thought she knew about love-and rethink
her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.
A powerful coming-of-age story about chance encounters, injustice
and how the choices that we make can completely change our future.
