THE ORIGINAL HERO. A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE.

Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times – battling monsters, Titans, even death himself – so graduating high school should be a breeze, right?

Wrong. Percy needs three recommendation letters from the gods before his final year in high school comes to an end. And one thing Percy knows, the gods on Mount Olympus don’t do anything for free.

To secure his second letter, Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover agree to a new quest – pet-sitting for the goddess Hecate while she’s away over Halloween. They just need to follow her simple rules:

• Look after the pets like their lives depend on it (because they do)
• Don’t touch anything – especially Hecate’s magic potions!
• See points 1 and 2

After living for years under the occupation by the evil Fangs of Dang, the Igiby children find a map rumoured to lead to the lost Jewels of Anniera - the one thing the Fangs will do anything to find. The family is thrown headlong into a perilous adventure, uncovering truths about who they are that will change their world forever. Repackaged with new illustrations, this is the opportunity to discover the Wingfeathers.

GET READY FOR SOME SUPERSIZED FUN!

Join Jade, Catty and Butty in Grandma's pretty garden as a small caterpillar discovers how he can fly through the air.

The world's first graphic novel of Lord of the Flies - a masterpiece reimagined.

A plane crashes on a desert island. The only survivors, a group of schoolboys. By day, they explore the dazzling beaches. By night, they are haunted by nightmares of a primitive beast and of what they've lost.

'There aren't any grown-ups anywhere.'

Orphaned by society, they must forge their own; but it isn't long before the group is split, and their innocent games take a dangerous turn.

'What are we? Humans? Or Animals?'

For the first time, from acclaimed artist Aimee de Jongh, comes the stunning graphic novel adaptation of this classic story, one of the BBC's '100 Novels that shaped our World'.

Lotta en haar hele familie gaan vir ’n naweek weg om Ouma en Oupa se goue bruilof te vier. Haar pa het lank beplan wat hulle alles daar gaan doen. Van ’n simpel skattejag tot ’n vervelige wandelpad deur ’n woud. Maar die ERGSTE van alles is dat sy en haar raasbekboeties ’n lied moet sing. Voor al die mense! Gelukkig gaan Lotta haar twee niggies wat in Australië bly ook daar ontmoet. Wie weet, dalk kuier hulle darem lekker saam . . .

Ek en Azlynn kyk vir mekaar. Dis nou interessante nuus. Daar's 'n nuwe meisie in die buurt, sy's so oud soos ons en boonop gaan sy in ons skool wees. Ek kan sien hoe opgewonde dit vir Azlynn maak. Haar oë vonkel en sy glimlag breed.

Maar ek is meer bang as opgewonde. Wat as dit 'n simpel meisie is? Of nog erger, wat as dit 'n wonderlike, superslim, vriendelike meisie is wat dadelik Azlynn se beste vriendin word? Wat as ek my graadsewejaar stoksielalleen moet deurgaan? My maag voel skielik hol...
