Vir langer as wat kroonprins Florin oud is, is die twee koninkryke
Monfiel en Vinland in ’n wrede oorlog verwikkel. Tot daar op ’n dag
’n bode die goeie tyding bring dat die twee konings vrede gesluit
het. Florin word na die vredesfees in Vinland genooi, maar daar
aangekom, wag die grootste skok op die jong prins: Die sogenaamde
vredesverdrag was ’n lokval. Sy pa, koning Philip, en sy gevolg is
gevange geneem en Florin verloor in ’n oogwink alles wat hy het: sy
pa, sy titel, sy koninkryk en sy eer. Koning Theodo laat hom leef,
maar verdoem hom om opgelei te word as hofnar deur Mimus – Theodo
se onvoorspelbare, enigmatiese en met tye gemene hofnar. Saam met
Mimus moet Florin dag na dag leer hoe om die laagste skepsel aan
die hof te wees en sy kop te behou deur die koning te laat lag.
Maar daar is meer aan Mimus as donkieore, ’n narmasker en lawwe
toertjies, wat Florin laat wonder of Mimus dalk sy vertroueling en
vriend kan wees … of ’n pop wat slegs na Theodo se pype dans? Mimus
is ’n verhaal van konings en narre, mag en vernedering, humor en
hartseer, en in die middel ’n enkele hofnar wat terselfdertyd lig
en donker verteenwoordig. Dit is ’n intrige wat oud en jonk sal
meesleur na die Middeleeue en tot op die laaste bladsy sal boei.

and warm. This classic picture book is a delight for young
children, depicting the traditional Swedish character of the house
elf, or tomten.

Charlie Davis is in pieces. At seventeen, she’s already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget it through cutting; the pain washes out the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. She doesn't have to think about her father or what happened under the bridge. Her best friend, Ellis, who is gone forever. Or the mother who has nothing left to give her.
Kicked out of a special treatment center when her insurance runs out, Charlie finds herself in the bright and wild landscape of Tucson, Arizona, where she begins the unthinkable: the long journey of putting herself back together.

An exciting novel for tweens that captures the dawn of the American
Revolution. Life is tough for thirteen-year-old Nathaniel Dunn, an
indentured servant in colonial Virginia. Then in a twist of luck,
he meets Basil, a kind schoolmaster, and an arrangement is struck
lending Nathaniel's labor to a Williamsburg carriage maker. Basil
introduces Nathaniel to music, books, and philosophies that open
his mind to new attitudes about equality. The year is 1775, and as
colonists voice their rage over England's taxation, Patrick Henry's
words give me liberty, or give me death become the sounding call
for action. Should Nathaniel and Basil join the fight? What is the
meaning of liberty in a country reliant on indentured servants and
slaves? Nathaniel must face the puzzling choices a dawning nation
lays before him. "Filled with action, well-drawn characters, and a
sympathetic understanding of many points of view." --ALA Booklist

She wants a future - is that too much? This Thing Called the Future, the multiple-award-winning young-adult novel from J.L. Powers, is finally coming to South Africa, its country of origin. The book is set in Imbali, the sprawling township outside Pietermaritzburg. Khosi is fourteen years old. She lives with her grandmother and her little sister, Zi. Both her parents tell her of the past, about a time when hundreds of Imbali residents were killed in political violence. Khosi wants a future; she wants to help make South Africa a better place. Is that too much in an environment where some men believe that raping virgins, like Khosi, will cure them of AIDS? Meanwhile, Khosi has fallen in love and really, really just wants to experience that warm, fuzzy feeling that happens when Little Man, the handsome boy in her class, touches her hand. In a world where HIV and AIDS are treatable for those with money and access to good state-sponsored care, Khosi has to negotiate hours in clinic lines, vengeful men, her mother's disdain for traditional healers, her grandmother's faith in their sangoma, and the terrible curse her next-door neighbour has cast on their household. This beautifully crafted young-adult novel never preaches and never falls into the trap of “warning” teenagers against anything. It simply deals with the realities of township life and the hardships a young virgin faces. This Thing Called the Future has won several prizes in the USA. LAPA and Catalyst Press are proud to bring it back to its country of origin.
