It's 1945, and the world is in the grip of war. Hideki lives with
his family on the island of Okinawa, near Japan. When the Second
World War crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted to fight for
the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade and a set of
instructions: Don't come back until you've killed an American
soldier. Ray, a young American Marine, has just landed on Okinawa.
This is Ray's first-ever battle, and he doesn't know what to expect
-- or if he'll make it out alive. All he knows that the enemy is
everywhere. Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island,
surviving heart-pounding ambushes and dangerous traps. But then the
two of them collide in the middle of the battle... And choices they
make in that single instant will change everything. Alan Gratz, New
York Times bestselling author of Refugee, returns with this
high-octane story of how fear and war tear us apart, but how hope
and redemption tie us together. Reviews for Refugee: "An absolute
must read for people of all ages" - Hannah Greendale, Goodreads
"Like RJ Palacio's Wonder, this book should be mandatory
reading..." - Skip, Goodreads "I liked how the book linked history
with adventure, and combined to make a realistic storyline for all
three characters" - AJH, aged 11, Toppsta

Dapper Kinders Van Suid-Afrika eer die bekende en minder bekende heldhaftige kinders in die geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika.
Daar word vertel van die koue nag toe Klara Majola haar blinde pa gaan soek het. Jacobus Lombard onthou die ontberings wat hy as 15-jarige seun op die Dorslandtrek gely het en die dapperheid wat dit gekos het om te oorleef.
Die Anglo-Boereoorlog het heelwat kinderhelde opgelewer. Penkoppe (seuns van ongeveer 10–15 jaar) het saam met die Boere op kommando gegaan en in sekere gevalle saam gesneuwel. Hierdie versameling van 36 verhale gee ’n blik op die heldemoed wat kinders jonger as 16 jaar aan die dag gelê het.

A magical picture book for Christmas, written in perfect, heartfelt
rhyme by Julia Donaldson, bestselling creator of Zog and Superworm.
"Magical . . . as well as paying tribute to tradition, the gentle
rhythmic verse and stunning pictures illuminate the two other
things close to Julia's heart: the power of children and song" Good
Housekeeping Deep in a snowy wood stands a little pine tree with a
special destiny: when it grows up, it's going to be the famous
Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square! This is the perfect picture
book to snuggle up with and share at Christmas. Gorgeous,
atmospheric illustrations whisk you from frozen forests to the
sparkling city square in a beautiful, moving story of festivity and
hope. Julia Donaldson's perfect rhyme is a joy to read aloud. This
is a classic to treasure for generations Victoria Sandoy's
exquisite, atmospheric illustrations are full of gorgeous details
to point out and share A paragraph on the final page of the book
explains the true story behind the tree The Christmas Pine is based
on a true story. It celebrates a special tradition that stretches
back over seventy years. Every year, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway
presents the British people with a spectacular Christmas tree. The
tree is a symbol of peace and friendship, and a thank you for the
UK's support during World War II. Each year, the UK Poetry Society
asks a poet to write a poem to welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson
originally wrote The Christmas Pine to celebrate the 2020 Christmas
tree. The poem was performed by London schoolchildren, and
displayed in Trafalgar Square. Julia Donaldson is the author of
many of the best-loved children's books ever written. She has been
awarded a CBE for services to literature, and is the most
celebrated children's writer in Britain today. Many of Julia
Donaldson's beloved picture books have been made into award-winning
animated films which are regularly shown on the BBC at Christmas.
Superworm animation will premiere on BBC Christmas 2021
THE TIKTOK SENSATION THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT 'After
finishing this book, my heart was pounding and I couldn't find
words big enough to describe how brilliant, beautiful, and powerful
it is.' L.E. Flynn, author of All Eyes On Her All Eden wants is to
rewind the clock. To live that day again. She would do everything
differently. Not laugh at his jokes or ignore the way he was
looking at her that night. And she would definitely lock her
bedroom door. But Eden can't turn back time. So she buries the
truth, along with the girl she used to be. She pretends she doesn't
need friends, doesn't need love, doesn't need justice. But as her
world unravels, one thing becomes clear: the only person who can
save Eden ... is Eden.
