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!

It’s been many moons since Ivypool lost her daughter Bristlefrost to the Dark Forest,
yet Ivypool can’t bear to move on. Even being named Deputy of ThunderClan—a role
she earlier would have relished—feels meaningless amid the pain of her grief.
When Whistlepaw has a disturbing vision—one that could spell disaster for all the
Clans—a group of cats is selected to go on a quest to investigate. Ivypool is happy to
join their mission. Perhaps being away from her daily responsibilities will help her
escape the painful memory of Bristlefrost’s death.
The cats set out on an arduous journey, facing everything from painful hunger to
bloodthirsty dogs. But nothing can prepare them for what they find: a disgusting
Twoleg den that’s caging a series of strange animals, including two who may have
surprising ties to the Clans.
In order to complete their quest and right a terrible wrong that goes back generations,
the five Clan cats must help these creatures find their true home. But first, Ivypool
must let go of the past, and her grief, if she is to have any hope of ensuring a future
for the Clans—and for herself.
Harwarrus Horribalus Heldehelm die Derde was 'n swaardvegter,
draak¬fluisteraar en die grootste Wiking-held wat nog ooit gelewe
het. Maar die reeks gaan oor toe hy nog gesukkel het om 'n held te
wees. Kinders wat DreamWorks se film How To Train your Dragon uit
2010 onthou, kan Hiccup (oftewel Harwarrus) se avonture nou in
Afrikaans lees!. Harwarrus moet die koning van die Wilderweste
word. Kan hy die heks se Vampier-spioendrake uitoorle en boonop
voor Joelfees se Dag van Doem die koning se verlore toebehore by
Alvin terugsteel? En is daar 'n bedrieer in Harwarrus se kamp wat
hulle almal op die ou end gaan verraai?
