Warsaw, 1942. Sixteen-year old Mira smuggles food into the Warsaw
ghetto to keep herself and her family alive. When she discovers
that the entire ghetto is to be 'liquidated' - killed or resettled
to concentration camps - she desperately tries to find a way to
save her family. She meets a group of young people who are planning
the unthinkable: an uprising against the occupying forces. Mira
joins the resistance fighters who, with minimal supplies and
weapons, end up holding out for twenty-eight days, longer than
anyone had thought possible. During this time, Mira has to decide
where her heart belongs. To Amos, who will take as many Nazis as he
can with him into the grave? Or to Daniel, who wants to help
orphans in a shelter?

series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days.
After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the
Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique
profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial
killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims
were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security
feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist.
Hidden in the numbers is a code - and the closer the Naturals come to
unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.
Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more
painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in
her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team
mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds - and
impossible choices.
Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.

Based on historical fact, it tells the poignant story of a little girl and her Ouma who experience removal from their suburb when it is proclaimed 'white' under apartheid's Group Areas Act.
Although narrated with the voice of innocence, this novella is hugely perceptive of injustice.
Gabby en haar niggie Georgia lyk baie na mekaar met hulle
krullerige hare, hoe wangbene en vol lippe, en toe hulle jonger
was, was hulle onafskeidbaar. Maar iewers het hulle vreemdelinge
vir mekaar geword en al wat hulle nou in gemeen het, is die bloed
in hulle are. Toe die matriekgroep van Barkley-Wes op 'n toer na
Kaapstad vertrek, ontdek Gabby dat Georgia se dagboek in haar
rugsak is. Hulle ma's het vir hulle identiese blou dagboeke vir
hulle verjaarsdae gekoop, en hulle deel 'n kamer, so dit kon maklik
gebeur het dat sy die verkeerde dagboek ingepak het. Dit beteken
waarskynlik ook dat haar dagboek in Georgia se besit is. Kort voor
lank kry Gabby se nuuskierigheid die oorhand en begin sy Georgia se
dagboek lees. Wanneer Georgia daarvan uitvind, breek 'n volskaalse
niggie-oorlog uit wat nie eens Kaapstad se besienswaardighede of
hulle vriende se pogings om raad te gee, kan keer nie. Gaan Gabby
se verraad die niggies nog verder uitmekaar dryf of sal dit dalk
daartoe lei dat hulle mekaar beter begin verstaan?

is very true.' But sort of wondered if I knew, it was two once, but
then it grew... Someone has come along to join Winnie-the-Pooh and
Christopher Robin on their adventure, but who could it be? It can't
be Kanga and Roo - they're sailing a boat - and it can't be Owl,
