Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik
tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes
beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de
Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by
die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener,
maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die
verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans
tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.
Like every young woman in New America, Stella knows the rules:
Deflect attention. Abstain from sin. Navigate the world with care.
Give obedience. Embrace purity. Respect your chaperone. Stella
can't go out by herself, or spend time with boys except at
Visitations. Girls in New America must have chaperones at all times
until they marry, so Stella's lucky that Sister Helen is like a
friend to her. When Sister Helen dies suddenly, she's devastated,
especially when the Constables assign Stella a new chaperone just
days later. Sister Laura is... different. She leaves Stella alone
and knows how to get into the "Hush Hush" parties where all kinds
of forbidden things happen. As Stella spends more time with Sister
Laura, she begins to question everything she's been taught. What if
the Constables' rules don't actually protect girls? What if they
were never meant to keep them safe? Once Stella glimpses both real
freedom and the dark truths behind New America, she has no choice
but to fight back against the world she knows. She sets out on a
dangerous journey across what was once the United States, risking
everything.

fire helps bring healing to Sarah. Former hurts are forgotten.
Sarah learns to accept a new mother and to work as a hired girl
herself.
When Connie gets a letter from the dad she thought was dead, she
sets out to discover why he left her, eight years ago, sitting in
an airport cafe with only her pet chameleon for company. Since then
she's lived with her foster mum, a cleaner at the airport, and
dreams of seeing her dad again. With her new friend, a fearless,
fossil-hunting boy called Thyo, she tracks her dad down. But as he
reveals his true colours, Connie starts to wonder if she's made the
biggest mistake of her life.
A funny and incredibly moving new novel of our times by one of the
most talented children's book authors working today, perfect for
fans of Wonder, Frank Cottrell-Boyce or The Boy at the Back of the
Class. Cymbeline Igloo is BORED. Bored of home learning, bored of
lockdown, bored of not being able to DO anything. And to make
things even worse, his mum accidentally gave away his favourite
football shirt. But then Mrs Stebbings, the beloved school cook, is
taken into hospital, and suddenly coronavirus seems much closer to
home. When Cym starts a project all about Mrs Stebbings' childhood
in World War II, he can't know that it's the beginning of something
incredible and even dangerous. Exploring the place where her street
once stood, he finds a tent, a strange girl wearing HIS SHIRT, and
a mystery that will change absolutely everything. Because the past
is more present than Cymbeline can possibly know - and the most
amazing thing is how much one small person can do RIGHT NOW... Some
Sunny Day is a story of hope, kindness and the history we all make
every day, no matter who we are.
Jamie Lee wants to be normal. But his ADHD makes him feel like his
brain is full of butterflies. Elin Watts wants to be perfect. If
she can be, surely her dad will come home. When Jamie and Elin's
families blend, the polar opposites of chaotic Jamie and ordered
Elin collide. As their lives spiral out of control, Jamie and Elin
discover that they're actually more alike than they'd admit. Maybe
there's no such thing as normal, or perfect. And perhaps, just like
families, happy-ever-afters come in all shapes and sizes. Uplifting
and moving, The Boy with the Butterfly Mind is an inspiring story
of acceptance, blended families, and discovering that in the end,
being yourself is more than enough.
An overweight, short-tempered Amish teenager learns to control his eating habits and his anger after running away to live as a hobo.

friend, Becca. But things are changing for Austin, too. After
undergoing surgery for a football injury, Austin has become

everything blows up with Austin--and Becca. When their parents
decide to send Austin to rehab and Emma to stay with family friends

Wyoming turns out to be a perfect fresh start, especially after
Emma makes friends with Tyler, a kindred spirit who doesn't judge
her--then again, he doesn't know what she did to Becca. Still, Emma
can't hide forever...or go back to the way things were with Austin
or with Becca. But can she find a way to confront the truth and
move forward?
