From acclaimed author and Costa winner Hilary McKay comes The Time
of Green Magic: a beautiful, spell-binding novel about family,
magic, an old house and a mysterious visitor . . . Abi and her two
step-brothers, Max and Louis, find that strange things happen when
they are alone in their eerie, ivy-covered new house. Abi, reading
alone, finds herself tumbling deep into books, while Louis summons
a startling guest through his bedroom window. Even Max has started
to see shapes in the shadows . . . Their busy parents see none of
it - but Louis' secret visitor is growing too alarming to keep
secret, and he finds he cannot manage without Max and Abi's help.
Can they find out where the mysterious creature has come from - and
how to get it back there?
To rescue her scientist dad, Bitsy learns to conjure
magicores—extraordinary creatures of all shapes, sizes, and magical
abilities. This new fantasy series by an internationally best-selling
author will appeal to Pokémon collectors, fans of creature-filled video
games, and anyone who dreams of attending magic school.
Bitsy and her best friend, Kosh, are spending a normal evening playing
video games—until a purple hamster the size of a bathtub barges in and
eats Bitsy’s gym clothes. Now it’s a race against time to rescue
Bitsy’s dad from a mysterious kidnapper, which starts with learning the
truth—that he, Bitsy, and Kosh can conjure magicores, creatures made
from the energy of emotions. From magic-carpet-like huffluffs to
shape-changing (and purring) copycats and big, stinky lubberwharls,
countless magicores exist hidden in plain sight, as do the schools that
teach young conjurers to wield their powers. But the world of conjurers
also features conflicts between guilds, and Bitsy’s dad may have been
caught up in one. With minimal training, it’s up to Bitsy and Kosh to
win an international race to find a long-lost magical object. The two
friends must decide who to trust as they solve riddles, fight
imaginative magical battles, and get to know the wide, wonderful world
of magicores—before a shadowy archvillain destroys everything.

Dis al Maart. Mieke het nog nie met Fen gepraat vandat hy koshuis toe is nie. Hy bel nie, kom nie naweke huis toe nie. Op Mtwana hang daar 'n skadu van onsekerheid.
Die Phiri-bende is oorkant die rivier aktief. Hulle teiken hoofsaaklik olifante. Mieke sit haar voet neer en bel vir Fen by die koshuis.
'n Boelie gryp sy foon en 'n bakleiery breek uit. In die gestoei breek Fen sy spanmaat, Jock, se neus. Fen én Jock word geskors. Hulle straf: twee weke se harde arbeid op Mtwana.

From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Geraldine McCaughrean comes an utterly immersive and unforgettable novel set during the London Blitz, inspired by her firefighter father. With the Second World War looming, four young people sit on a train waiting to be evacuated to a safer place...but they don't want to go. They climb out of the carriage and head back home to Greenwich, forming an unlikely friendship. They spend their days trying to be useful. Laurence is building a secret machine. Gemmy searches bombed-out homes for things of value - only to find an adorable mutt she can't even give away. Franklin wants to join the Fire Service, although it means lying about his age. Olive looks after her father, who is broken by the deaths of his fellow firefighters. And together, the four roam the streets of London, discovering their resilience amongst the secrets of the city. But as the Blitz unleashes a barrage of bombs on London, turning the sky ragged with flame, can the friends keep each other safe and survive?
’n Wetenskapsfiksieverhaal wat in die Klein-Karoo en Kaapstad afspeel.
Die agtienjarige Laela Nix se ouers word deur die gevreesde Genmodregering vermoor. Sy slaan op die vlug en beland op die plaas Swartfontein, ’n insekteelstasie. Sy leer die bestuurder van die plaas, Finian, en sy twee mak rooijakkalse ken.
Maar die vrae bly knaag, oor haar ouers se dood, oor haar vervreemde, beeldskone en gewetenlose suster Jessi. Wie kan sy vertrou?
Zander mis sy sussie. En daarmee saam voel dit vir hom asof hy besig is om sy ouers ook te verloor. Maar gelukkig is daar genoeg om sy aandag van dinge by die huis af te lei.
Hy en sy pelle, Mieke, Bongani en Ruben, gaan ’n kortfilm maak vir die kunsfees en hulle gaan seerowers wees! Hulle het selfs die perfekte plek om die video te skiet – die vervalle ou huis in die doodloopstraat se vuil swembad.
Maar dan ontdek hulle iets skokkends . . . en dit word ’n saak van lewe of dood.
