Have you ever wondered what it might be like to travel back in
time? Joe Hopkins isn't expecting to go anywhere in particular. But
while he's visiting the ruins of a Roman palace, he suddenly slips
through time and finds himself back in Roman Britain. But what
starts out as an interesting afternoon becomes first an adventure,
and then a fascination. In the end, it will change his whole life.
"The Leopard in the Golden Cage" is the first of seven books for 8
to 12 year olds which will bring Joe face to face with Vikings,
smugglers, and the bombers of the Second World War Blitz.
It's the year 1932 long before the age of mobile phones and T.V.
It's the time when great adventures took place. Ben and his two
partners in the white hand gang, Max and Joe (Josephine) discover
the skeleton of a pirate in a secret cave. Their quest to find the
pirates' missing treasure gets them trapped in the mountain lair of
an army of trolls lost in time. Their plight is further deepened or
so they think, when they stumble into the presence of a bewitched
dragon.
When Aaslan's duty to escort his sister, Aisha, to a neighboring
village is met with defeat, he must journey to find his sister
through the underground tunnels of the Turkish countryside. He
fights little boy fears in a grown up world to regain his honor and
save her life. With the help of friends, his destiny becomes one of
survival and growth. He is soon to earn the name he bears, or die
trying.
In the thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel Minecraft: The Island, a stranded hero stumbles upon another castaway—and discovers that teamwork might just be the secret to survival.
Wandering a vast, icy tundra, the explorer has never felt more alone. Is there anything out here? Did I do the right thing by leaving the safety of my island? Should I give up and go back? So many questions, and no time to ponder—not when dark is falling and dangerous mobs are on the horizon.
Gurgling zombies and snarling wolves lurk in the night, and they’re closing in. With nowhere to hide, the lone traveler flees up a mountain, trapped and out of options . . . until a mysterious figure arrives, fighting off the horde singlehandedly. The unexpected savior is Summer, a fellow castaway and master of survival in these frozen wastes.
Excited to find another person in this strange, blocky world, the explorer teams up with Summer, whose impressive mountain fortress as a safe haven . . . for now. But teamwork is a new skill for two people used to working alone. If they want to make it home, they will have to learn to work together—or risk losing everything.

Another hilarious and moving novel from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children’s author in the country.
A story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this new book has all the hallmarks of David’s previous bestsellers.
Our hero Ben is bored beyond belief after he is made to stay at his grandma’s house. She’s the boringest grandma ever: all she wants to do is to play Scrabble, and eat cabbage soup. But there are two things Ben doesn’t know about his grandma.
1) She was once an international jewel thief.
2) All her life, she has been plotting to steal the Crown Jewels, and now she needs Ben’s help…
London, 1951: Clem Fatale, the youngest crook in the city, is on a mission to find her dad. Jimmy Fatale, notorious jewel thief and leader of the Spider Gang, has gone missing and with him the greatest prize in London: the Fool's Canary. Along with her prisoner and/or sidekick Gilbert (depends who you're asking), Clem sets off on a rip-roaring chase through the London underworld. Racing through dodgy dives, glamorous nightclubs, greasy spoons and secret alleyways, Clem and Gilbert are soon pursued by a host of friends and foes. Will Clem find her father in time? Or will the most sinister villain this side of the river put a stop to all her plans? A rollicking middle grade series full of madcap escapades, fast-talking dames and unlikely heroes, perfect for fans of MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE, ENOLA HOLMES, ADVENTURES ON TRAINS and Katherine Woodfine.

Die avonture van Kuifie (Frans: Les Aventures de Tintin et Milou)
is een van die gewildste strokiesverhale wat in die twintigste eeu
verskyn en is vandag steeds populêr. Die boeke word in ongeveer 60
tale vertaal. Die hoofkarakter van die verhale is die jong Belgiese
verslaggewer Kuifie. Saam met sy hond, Spokie, beleef hy verskeie
avonture.
Die eerste verhaal van Kuifie verskyn op 10 Januarie 1929 as ’n
bylae tot die Franstalige Brusselse koerant Le Vingtième Siècle.
Hergé skryf en teken in die tydperk tussen 1929 en 1976 23
strokiesverhale (die 24ste verhaal bly onvoltooi).
In Die 7 kristalballe keer die Sanders-Hardmuth-ekspedisie na
Europa terug ná ’n lang reis deur Peru en Bolivia. Hulle bring die
mummie van Raskar Kapak saam met hulle terug. Professor Sonneblom
voorspel dat daar niks goeds van hierdie grafskending gaan kom nie.
Een na die ander verval die sewe wetenskaplikes wat aan die
ekspedisie deelgeneem het in ’n vreemde koma, en telkens word
kristalskerwe op die toneel gevind.
Brits en Britz se hulp word ingeroep om die saak te ondersoek.
Intussen word professor Sonneblom ontvoer en Kuifie, Spokie en
kaptein Sardijn vertrek na Suid-Amerika om hom te probeer opspoor.
This must-have companion invites readers to experience the vivid imagery of Sarah J. Maas's #1 bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series.
46 pieces of stunning original artwork bring to life favorite characters, creatures, and moments, including the lush beauty of the Spring Court and the glimmering vibrancy of the Night Court.
Join Feyre as she falls in love, wages war, and explores the haunting and deadly world of the Fae.
