Lottie Brooks is BACK and she's as BRILLIANT as ever!

At long last Lottie and Daniel are an official couple and everything seems to be going brilliantly (except for Amber being increasingly mean and jealous, but what's new there?).

Meanwhile Toby's new year's resolution is to get a dog, and for once Lottie and him see eye to eye. Pot Noodle, the cockapoo, becomes the newest member of the Brooks family. He's VERY cute but also not toilet trained AT ALL.

Lottie soon finds having a new boyfriend and a new dog means she has little time for anyone else, leaving her best friends pretty upset. How is Lottie meant to keep everybody happy and stop Pot Noodle from pooing on the carpet?!

Perfect for readers aged 9-12 and for fans of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid.

Wanneer 'n rondreisende pretpark in die rustige dorpie Rustenvrede opdaag, kan Johan en Anton nie wag om dit te besoek nie. Maar hulle kom gou agter hierdie is geen gewone karnaval nie. Alhoewel hulle aanvanklik skepties is oor die hele gedoente, neem hulle vrywillig deel aan 'n toertjie by die skool om die pretpark te adverteer. Maar was dit net ’n skadelose toertjie? Want sedert die vreemde Madame Zelda hulle op die verhoog gehipnotiseer het, voel Johan, Anton en Karin . . . anders. Iets vreemds is besig om in hul stil klein dorpie te gebeur. Hoekom tree mense so snaaks op? Wat gebeur met hulle wanneer hulle die park in die nag besoek? En wat van daardie swart kraai wat elke beweging fyn dophou? Johan en sy vriende is vasbeslote om die waarheid te ontbloot - voordat Madame Zelda se duistere planne almal in gevaar stel.

'n Grillerige avontuur perfek vir dapper lesers wat nie bang is vir die donker nie!

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.

Saam met ’n groep wetenskaplikes vertrek Kuifie, Spokie en kaptein Sardijn op ’n ekspedisie om die stuk meteoriet te gaan bestudeer. Hulle is egter nie die enigstes wat so ’n ontdekkingstog onderneem nie en gou ontaard dit in ’n spannende resies om eerste daar te kom.

Professor Katalis het reeds ’n nuwe metaal in die meteoriet bespeur en daar is baie op die spel.

From hilarious bestselling author, Katie Kirby, comes a brand-new Lottie Brooks story. This time it's CHRISTMAS!!!

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year, I would like:

Two hundred KitKat chunkies (full-size not multipack)
Baby Bella to stop shouting 'BUM' in public spaces
A new brother who doesn't fart on me and call it a 'tasty air biscuit'
Antoine or Daniel (I can't decide!) to surprise me on Christmas Day with a grand romantic gesture
Cash (lots of it!)
A new diary (I'm really getting through them!)

Lots of love,

Lottie xxx

PS. Please could you put a chocolate orange instead of a real orange in my stocking this year?

Lottie Brooks LOVES Christmas - there's presents, all the KitKat Chunkys you can eat AND no school for two weeks! But this year, Christmas might be a bit more chaotic than usual. The whole Brooks family are visiting for the festive break (along with some surprise visitors . . .), there's a Secret Santa to organise, and the hammies won't stop attacking Gavin, the Elf on the Shelf!

Will Lottie survive the festivities intact or will she have to hide in the fort of shame until it's all over?

It’s been a year since his best friend, Sam, died. Even though Oliver knows he won’t get a response, he can’t stop texting Sam’s number, especially as the anniversary of his death approaches.

Then one day he accidentally hits the call button, and someone picks up.

Sam’s number was reassigned and a stranger has been receiving Oliver’s private and vulnerable messages for months. But Ben, a college student in Seattle, won’t remain a stranger for long. When they finally meet in person, their spark is undeniable. Everything seems perfect until Oliver discovers something impossible and strange that will keep them from being together . . .

It is 2003 – ten years since Spud Milton’s class of 93 matriculated. Despite their seemingly unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight – Rambo, Mad Dog, Vern, Fatty, Garth Garlic, Boggo, Simon and Spud – have not kept in touch. An invitation from the school to attend the ten-year reunion weekend has an unsettling effect on the former scholarship boy. One thing Spud knows for sure: there is no way he’ll be attending the reunion. The prospect of having to reveal his decade of spectacular non-achievement to his former classmates hardens his resolve.

At twenty-eight Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis. His glittering theatre career might have stalled before it’s even begun. Not only that, he still doesn’t have a girlfriend and circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and Wombat, his senile grandmother.

But Spud hasn’t reckoned with a bombardment of messages and darkly threatening phone calls about the reunion that see his curiosity piqued. It’s just a weekend, after all … what could possibly go wrong?

Some worlds deserve to be destroyed . . .

Isla Crown has charted a new destiny and leapt into the unknown, determined to defeat her insidious ancestor, Lark, no matter the cost. But Skyshade is nothing like she anticipated, and she’ll have to use all of her skills just to survive, let alone end Lark for good.

The key to Isla’s return—and the fate of the realms—lies close to her heart. But in the face of her most powerful enemy yet, will Isla be able to reconcile her past in order to carve a future of her own making?

From Ali Novak, author of My Life with the Walter Boys, comes the second book in The Heartbreak Chronicles series, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Kasie West!

"I'm sorry," he said, slowly untying the ribbon that held his mask in place. "It's just―I didn't want you to think of me any differently."

Somehow I kept my mouth from falling open. I knew his face, but my mind couldn't accept that he was the person looking down at me.

"My real name is Alec."

Felicity has her entire future planned. Ever since her older sister ran away, she's had the full weight of her mother's expectations on her shoulders. So she works hard to get straight As and save for college.

Except sometimes the best things in life are unplanned―like when Felicity meets a handsome, masked stranger while she is volunteering at a charity masquerade ball. She never thought he'd flirt with her. And she certainly never thought he'd turn out to be a member of the world-famous Heartbreakers band, Alec.

Then Felicity uncovers a shocking family secret. Suddenly, she, Alec, and her two best friends are off on a road trip to find Felicity's missing sister. And she's about to discover that unexpected turns have a peculiar way of landing her right where she needs to be…

Wilson se lewe is, net soos haar naam, ietwat buitengewoon. Sy woon saam met haar ouers in 'n huis op wiele en moet elke paar maande na 'n nuwe dorp trek. Dit frustreer haar baie. Amper so baie soos Errol. Hy het onlangs besluit dat Wilson sy beste maat is en dat sy hom moet vergesel op vervelige uitstappies soos voëlkyk. Net toe Wilson dink dat Verkeerdevlei net so vervelig gaan wees soos al die ander klein dorpies waar sy al gewoon het, ontdek sy iets uitsonderlik - iets wat ten alle koste geheim gehou moet word. Maar dan raak dinge gevaarlik ... Iemand is daarop uit om wraak te neem, en niks en niemand gaan hom stuit nie - veral nie twee kinders nie.

Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter. A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot. A half-mechanical raccoon with its tail on fire that just won’t leave him alone. Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max's Adventures in Sunderworld—and that’s because they are.

Not a good sign.

In the blurry weeks after his mother’s death, a young Leopold discovered VHS tapes of its one and only season in a box headed for the trash—and soon became obsessed. Losing himself in Sunder was the best way to avoid two things: grieving his mother and being a chronic disappointment to his overbearing father. But when the strange visions return—at the worst possible time on the worst possible day—Leopold turns to his best friend Emmet for help. Together they discover that Sunder is much more than just an old TV show, and that Los Angeles is far stranger than they ever imagined. And soon, he’ll realize that not only is Sunderworld real, but it’s in grave danger.

Certain he’s finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, save the world of his childhood dreams, and prove once and for all that he’s not the disappointment his father believes him to be. But when everything goes terribly, horribly, excruciatingly wrong, Leopold’s disappointments prove to be more extraordinary than he ever could have imagined.

How do you battle darkness when no one believes in you—not even yourself?

Welcome to Sunderworld.

"When I wasn't reading this book, it was all I wanted to be doing. Adorably romantic and fun! I loved it." ―Kasie West, author of The Distance Between Us

When Stella Samuel meets a gorgeous blue-eyed guy at Starbucks and shows him her camera, it's nothing more than a moment―one that takes her breath away, sure, but it's not like she'll ever see him again. This year she's postponing college to support her sister, Cara, as she fights cancer, and she doesn't have time for anything else.

While Stella would rather not spend three hours in line to get autographs from some band called The Heartbreakers, her sister's a huge fan. It'll be totally worth it to surprise Cara on her birthday.

But Stella gets a surprise of her own. That guy in Starbucks? Turns out he's Oliver Perry, lead singer of the Heartbreakers. And even though Stella hates his music (and tells him so), and it's weird that he's famous, they're falling for one another. Being with Oliver makes anything feel possible, even the dreams she'd put on hold. But how can Stella even think of following them when her sister could be dying?

Dan sien ’n voormalige martial arts-kampioen Cazlee se talent raak. Hy bied haar ’n beurs aan by die skool waar hy taekwondo afrig en die kampioentrofee in die visier het.

Ellamay, sy dogter, droom daarvan om in haar kampioen-pa se voetspore te volg. Dat haar pa uit sy pad gaan om eerder van Cazlee ’n kampioen te maak, lei tot wrywing tussen die twee meisies.

Dan gaan die wêreld van onwettige gevegte vir Ellamay ook oop. Dinge loop lelik skeef en Cazlee moet 'n besluit neem wat haar hele toekoms kan beïnvloed.
