From National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor comes an epic
fantasy about a mythic lost city and its dark past. The dream
chooses the dreamer, not the other way around--and Lazlo Strange,
war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared his dream chose
poorly. Since he was just five years old, he's been obsessed with
the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than
he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning
opportunity presents itself, in the form of a hero called the
Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his
chance or lose his dream forever. What happened in Weep two hundred
years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? And who is the
blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams? In this
sweeping and breathtaking novel by National Book Award finalist
Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling Daughter of
Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the
ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical
world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.
The answers await in Weep.
Everyone's favorite pranksters are at it again! School's out, and
Miles and Niles are running wild in the woods outside town:
climbing trees, exploring caves, and, yes, pranking. But these

cadets from a nearby kids' boot camp discover the merrymakers-and
vow to destroy them. Are our heroes' sharp minds any match for
these hooligans' hard fists? The latest installment of the witty,
on-target illustrated series is another "fast paced, laugh-out-loud
novel" (School Library Journal) that proves once again that, in the
hands of the powerless, pranks can be tools of justice-plus,
they're funny.

Kara Immelman se lewe is eintlik nogal uitgesorteer. Sy is in matriek en hoewel sy heeltemal te skaam is om gewild te wees, het sy vir Eduard, haar beste vriend van laerskooldae af. Sy is ook haar skool se topswemmer en die moontlikheid van ’n swembeurs wink. Al gebeur daar nie veel op die dorpie waar hulle woon nie, het sy en Eduard groot planne om eendag die wêreld te sien. Planne wat aangevuur word deur hulle gedeelde passie vir flieks. Wanneer Samantha egter op die toneel verskyn, herrangskik dit Kara en Eduard se hele bestaan. Want Sam is nie net onmoontlik mooi nie, sy speel ook volgens haar eie reëls.
Toe ons oneindig was, is die verhaal van ’n meisie wat nog altyd presies gedoen het wat van haar verwag is. Iemand wat so besig was om almal gelukkig te hou, dat sy nooit regtig probeer uitvind het wat háár gelukkig maak nie. Totdat sy een middag in ’n aantrekhokkie vir die heel eerste keer gesoen word. Dis ’n storie oor vriendskap en lojaliteit. Oor seksualiteit en vloeibaarheid. Maar bowenal is dit die verhaal van ’n meisie op ’n selfontdekkingsreis – die soort reis wat in ’n Hollywoodfliek hoort.
