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.

Go on an adventure with Katherine Rundell ... From the winner of the Costa Children's Book Prize 'A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and a wild imagination' - Philip Pullman Feodora and her mother live in the snowbound woods of Russia, in a house full of food and fireplaces. Ten minutes away, in a ruined chapel, lives a pack of wolves. Feodora's mother is a wolf wilder, and Feo is a wolf wilder in training. A wolf wilder is the opposite of an animal tamer: it is a person who teaches tamed animals to fend for themselves, and to fight and to run, and to be wary of humans. When the murderous hostility of the Russian Army threatens her very existence, Feo is left with no option but to go on the run. What follows is a story of revolution and adventure, about standing up for the things you love and fighting back. And, of course, wolves.
