A moving, powerful story that shines a light on those that feel
invisible in our world - and shows us that we ALL belong - from the
author of Ruby's Worry. The Invisible is the story of a young girl
called Isabel and her family. They don't have much, but they have
what they need to get by. Until one day, there isn't enough money
to pay their rent and bills and they have to leave their home full
of happy memories and move to the other side of the city. It is the
story of a girl who goes on to make one of the hardest things
anyone can ever make...a difference. And it is the story of those
who are overlooked in our society - who are made to feel invisible
- and why everyone has a place here. We all belong.
Matilda se ouers het haar al baie verskriklike dinge genome. Maar sy is eintlik 'n genie en dis hulle wat onnosel is. Vind uit hoe sy hulle en haar bose skoolhoof, juffrou Trunchbull, laat les opsê en boonop ontdek dat sy oor 'n baie spesiale gawe beskik . . .
Nuwe uitgawes herdenk Roald Dahl se 100ste verjaardag in 2016.
Adrian Mole's first love, Pandora, has left him; a neighbor, Mr. Lucas, appears to be seducing his mother (and what does that mean for his father?); the BBC refuses to publish his poetry; and his dog swallowed the tree off the Christmas cake. "Why" indeed.
'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
