Is jy gereed vir die grootste avontuur ooit?

Johan en sy beste vriend, Tom, ontdek ’n geheime grot met versteende voetspore in Dinobaai. Toe hulle op die voetspore loop, beland hulle in ’n wêreld vol regte, lewende dinosourusse. Saam met hul dino-maat, Wanna, beleef die twee seuns allerlei asemrowende – maar ook gevaarlike – oertyd-avonture!

Die stories is in 2009 vir die eerste maal as individuele boeke uitgegee. Hierdie omnibus bevat nog vier stories uit dié gewilde reeks:

Vang die dief!

’n Blitsige Velociraptor steel die Fossielvinder en Johan en Tom moet hom agternasit. Ná ’n dolle jaagtog deur die gevaarlike oerwêreld, haal hulle die skelm dinosourus in. Maar hoe gaan hulle hom uit sy grot lok om die Fossielvinder terug te kry?

Hier kom die reuse-reptiele!

Johan en Tom se dinosouruswêreld is tjoepstil – geen dinosourusse brul nie, geen insekte zoem nie – en hulle vind gou uit waarom … ’n Meteoor stuur reg op hulle af. Boem! ’n Verskrikte Edmontosaurus-trop storm op die rand van ’n reuse-krater af. Sal die seuns hulle kan keer voor hulle in die dieptes afstort?

Stegosourus-probleme

Johan en Tom is terug in Dinowêreld – maar hierdie keer is dit in die Jura-tydperk! Die seuns en hul dino-maat, Wanna, kan nie wag om uit te vind watter avonture in hierdie nuwe prehistoriese tydperk op hulle wag nie. Toe ’n Stegosaurus in die moeilikheid beland, moet hulle probeer help …

Onderwater-avontuur

Johan en Tom gaan snorkelduik in hul geheime dinosouruswêreld. Selfs Wanna gaan dit in die see waag! Onder die water sien hulle ongelooflike oerdiere. Maar wat hulle nie weet nie, is dat ’n reuse-plesiosourus onder die branders rondswem …

Mieke is mal oor meerminne.

Haar ma en haar ouma dink hulle bestaan net in sprokies.

Maar Mieke weet hulle bestaan regtig.

En danksy die meerminprinses Luna en haar betowerde skulpkammetjie, kan Mieke deesdae by die meerminne in hul ongelooflike onderwater-wêreld gaan kuier! Dit voel teen hierdie tyd al soos haar tweede tuiste.

Prinses Luna is baie opgewonde toe sy uit die bloute 'n brief van prins Kadan kry. Hy is die meermin-prins van die Koraalkoninkryk - en op haar ma se verjaardagbal het hulle heerlik gedans. Daar is net een probleem: Luna se pa en Kadan se pa is aartsvyande!

Toe Luna besluit om vir Kadan in die Koraalkoninkryk te gaan kuier, wéét Mieke daar is moeilikheid op pad.

Kort voor lank trotseer hulle die donker dieptes van die oseaan waar allerlei skrikwekkende avonture op hulle wag - 'n storm, 'n donker kelpwoud, seeslange, skeepswrakke … en twee baie kwaai meerminkonings!

Betty Misheiker het sedert die vroëe vyftiger jare vir kinders geskryf. Hierdie boek is gebasseer op een van die mees populêre kinderliedjies. Dit vertel die pittige storie van 'n klein muisie wat voorgee dat hy baie dapperder is as wat hy werklik is. Die eenvoudige boodskap vir kinders is dit: dis nie nodig om voor te gee dat jy dapperder is as wat jy werklik is nie, want eintlik is vrees die natuur se manier om jou te beskerm teen gevaar. Hierdie liedjie was eers uitgesaai in 'n radioprogram vir klein mensies in Engels en was opgeneem deur GRC. Dit was ook uitgesaai op televisie en opgevoer wêreldwyd deur kinders in voor- en laerskole in beide Engels en Afrikaans. Hierdie is die eerste keer wat die Afrikaanse weergawe as 'n boek gepubliseer word, met pragtige en beeldende illustrasies wat die stemming van die liedjie vasvang, deur Betty Misheiker se dogter Ilona Suschitzky. Ek's 'n dapper muis is alreeds in vier ander tale vertaal met nog vertalings oppad... Vir meter informasie besoek die webwerf : bettymisheiker.com

• Early start, Large print stories with a moral.

Far, far away there was a wood. A jumble of twists and turns, ups and downs, and unknowns. The little creatures that lived there each had a thing that made them happy... ... all of them except Pod, who just can't seem to find hers. Exasperated and sad, Pod sets off to discover where her 'happiness' might be hiding, only to find it in the friends she meets along the way.

In Tithe, sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she drifts from place to place with her mother’s rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms—a struggle that could very well mean her death.

In Valiant, the companion to Tithe, seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city’s labyrinthine subway system. But there’s something eerily beguiling about Val’s new friends. When one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature, Val finds herself torn between her affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming.

In Ironside, the sequel to Tithe, the time has come for Roiben’s coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing—her love for Roiben. But when Kaye drunkenly declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest to find a faerie who can tell a lie. Unable to see Roiben until she has fulfilled his quest, Kaye finds herself in the center of the battle of wits and weapons being waged over his throne.
