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.
