In hierdie avontuur kry Karel Kameleon en sy vriende Sollie en
Henko die opdrag om professor Borrie te vind. Die spore lei na
Kwaakstad, ’n stad vol paddas en kikkers. Maar hoekom gedra hierdie
diere hulle so vreemd? En waarom is die professor daarheen ontvoer?
Wie was dit? En wat het die professor se towerdrankie daarmee uit
te waai?
When Silas Walker does a school presentation on former Major League
Baseball player Glenn Burke, it's more than a report on the
inventor of the high five. Burke was a black gay baseball player in
the '70s - and for Silas, the presentation is his own first baby
step toward coming out as gay. Soon he tells his best friend Zoey,
but the longer he keeps his secret from his baseball teammates, the
more he suspects that they know something's up. Kids get pulled
from the team, fingers point at Silas, and he stages one big
cover-up with terrible consequences. Was it a mistake to share his
truth? This is Phil Bildner's most personal novel yet, and weaves
the real history of Glenn Burke into a heartfelt and relatable
story of a kid learning just to be himself.

Vandag is Albertus kwaad. Hanno, sy jonger boetie, het hom baie
kwaad gemaak. Gelukkig is Pappa daar om die gemoedere te sus.
Regtigwaar, dit is nie maklik om ’n ouboet te wees nie.
Karel Kameleon word saam met twaalf ander spioene opgeroep deur
Groot Gekko Dikke Nekko. Die baasspioen en oprigter van die Geheime
Diereverbond ontbied hulle na sy geheime tempel in die oerwoud. Die
lys met al die name van die spioene van die Geheime Diereverbond is
gesteel. Wie het die lys gesteel? En hoe het hy by die altaarkamer
uitgekom?
Lillie neem die heksesprong na die heldhaftige wikings. Daar gekom,
besef sy egter dat nie alle wikings sterk en dapper is nie...Sy
ontmoet Helgar die bangbroek! Helgar se pa, die gewese stamhoof,
het tydens 'n vorige ekspedisie weggeraak en die vikings het
aanvaar dat hy dood is. Lillie ontdek egter iets wat haar daarvan
oortuig dat hy nog lewe. Sy bied aan om na hom te gaan soek en
vertrek saam met 'n hele klomp vikings op 'n skip. Maar nie almal
is ewe entoesiasties om die ou hoofman te vind nie, en die soektog
raak lewensgevaarlik...
Lillie lees op 'n dag 'n gruwelike boek oor vampiere. Maar moenie
dink dit skrik Lillie af nie! Inteendeel. Lillie is mos vir niks
bang nie, en sy besluit om Transsilvanie te besoek om die gevreesde
skepsels met haar eie oe te sien. Gewapen met knoffel, houtdolke,
sonbrille en nog wat, doen sy die heksesprong en beland binne-in
Dracula se kasteel! Sal sy die moedelose inwoners van Brasov kan
help? En self uit Dracula se kloue kan bly?
Grobbelaartjie, 'n jong bosvarkie, is van sy ouers se plaas af op
pad na Velskoendorp om sy fortuin te soek. Op sy reis ontmoet hy
verskeie uiteenlopende karakters, maak nuwe vriende (en vyande) en
beland in talle vreemde situasies. Met hierdie speelse en
verbeeldingryke teks skep die skrywer 'n fantasiewereld waar dier
en mens saam kan boer en waar 'n bosvarkie 'n reuseverskil kan
maak. Die volwasse leser sal die tong-in-die-kies sosiale
kommentaar waardeer, terwyl jonger lesers hulle sal inleef in die
asemrowende avonture van dapper Grobbelaartjie.
Kay en haar boetie gaan troeteldierwinkel toe. Hul pappa het gesê hul mag net één troeteldier kies om huis toe te neem. Maar watter een moet hul kies? ’n Hondjie, of katjie, of dalk ’n vis of ’n voël? In hierdie pragtige rymverse wys Dr. Seuss hoe moeilik dit soms kan wees om troeteldierwinkel toe te gaan en slegs één diertjie te kies!
