“Pappa!” roep Johannes. “Pappa, kyk net!”. “Stil!” roep meneer Blom. “Ek kry nie gewerk nie!”. “Maar jy moet kyk, Pappa,” se Nella Della. Sy hou haar hand ’n bietjie stywer om die mannetjie sodat hy nie kan ontsnap nie. Meneer Blom kyk. “Wat is dit?” vra hy effens knorrig, asof hy vies is dat hulle hom oor so ’n kleinigheid pla. “Is dit ’n kabouter? Kabouters bestaan nie. Dit is dus onmoontlik. Los my nou dat ek kan werk.” ’n Kabouter is dit nie, maar ’n wiplala met die naam Wiplala. En Wiplala kan toor, of soos hy dit noem ‘tinkel’. Die enigste probleem is dat Wiplala dit soms regkry om te tinkel en soms nie. Wanneer hy die Blom-gesin net so klein maak soos hy, is dit die begin van ’n opwindende avontuur. Die Bloms wonder egter of hulle ooit weer normale mense sal word!. Wiplala verskyn oorspronklik in 1957 in Nederlands. Dit is uit die pen van die bekende Nederlandse kinderboekskrywer Annie M.G. Schmidt. Die boek word in verskeie tale vertaal (onder meer Duits, Fins, Engels en selfs Japannees). In 2014 verskyn daar ook ’n film wat gebaseer is op die boek.

Wrede kewermodebaas Lucretia Cutter het ’n plan om die wêreld voor haar kewerkloue te laat buig. Hierdie keer behels dit ’n besoek aan die jaarlikse Filmtoekennings in Los Angeles, ’n stel pragtige maar gevaarlike kewerrokke vir bekende aktrises en ’n weermag van bose lieweheersbesies. Darkus, Virginia en Bertold is vasbeslote om ’n stokkie voor haar planne te steek, maar Darkus se pa het hom verbied om verder ondersoek in te stel, die gruwelike skelms, Humphrey en Pickering is weer uit die tronk en die kewers van Kewerberg se lewens word ernstig bedreig.

They killed my mother. They took our magic. They tried to bury us. NOW WE RISE.

Zélie remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoning forth souls.

But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden.

Zélie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Danger lurks in Orïsha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zélie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy.

Die Jasper-jeugreeks is die eerste keer uitgegee in 1959 en daar was verskeie herdrukke. Hierdie is die tiende titel in die Jasper-reeks. Vir enige kind sal dit ure se genot verskaf, want dit is 'n boek om te lees en te herlees. Saam met die Viermanskap is die leser bly oor die sukses wat behaal word en saam met die vriende word daar getreur oor die brandende sitvlakke! Saam met ‘n groep kinders van Leliesvlei se hoerskool, en onder toesig van meneer Basson, gaan Jasper die Wildtuin besoek. Maar op pad daarheen - en nogal op ‘n steil bergpas en in gietende reen van ‘n Laeveldse donderstorm - raak die bus waarmee hulle reis onklaar. En lank nadat die donderstorm bedaar het, staan die logge ou rooi gevaarte nog al die tyd langs die pad, te steeks om ‘n wiel te verroer. Intussen begin dit reeds donker word en meneer Basson word onrustig. Nou nie heeltemal met meneer Basson se toestemming nie, besluit Jasper en sy drie maats dat hulle die wereld moet gaan verken en kyk of hulle nie hulp kan kry nie. En ja werklik, voordat hulle baie ver gevorder het, hoor hulle die gedreun van ‘n vragmotor, wat hulle na ‘n afgesonderde plaashuis lei. Omhul deur die waas van geheimsinnigheid, le die huis tussen die bosse, sonder ‘n lig of enige ander teken van lewe, behalwe die vragmotor wat daar staan. Jasper se kort hare gaan staan nog regopper as gewoonlik, maar hy besluit om deur te druk met sy ondersoek. Hy is immers die leier van die Viermanskap. Maar hy moes liewer net daar omgedraai en teruggestap het skoolbus toe. Dit sou beter gewees het vir almal … Kom deel in die avonture van Jasper!
