Die Bitterbosbende besluit om in die skoolkoor te sing. Maar meneer
Louw is nie die vriendelikste nie en boonop is daar nuwe koorlede
wat Kurt nog nooit in die skool opgemerk het nie en wat blykbaar vir
die res van die bende onsigbaar is. Dan ontdek Nieke 'n stuk papier
met snaakse simbole, amper soos bladmusiek, in haar
geskiedenisboek. Nieke en Kurt besef hulle droom albei oor onaardse
aaklige musiek, en 'n koor van kinders geklee in swart, met aardige
groot koppe . . .
This deliciously spooky, yearningly romantic ghost story from a
brilliant debut author will thrill fans of Kalynn Bayron and Wilder
Girls by Rory Power. Jade Nguyen has always lied to fit in. She's
straight enough, Vietnamese enough, American enough - at least for
this summer with her estranged father in Vietnam. Just five weeks
of ignoring the quietly decaying French colonial house he's fixing
up, then college and freedom are hers. But soon Jade begins waking
up every morning certain that something has clawed down her throat
... from the inside. Then the ghost of a beautiful bride visits her
with a cryptic warning: DON'T EAT. When her father and little
sister don't believe her, Jade decides to scare them into leaving
by staging some haunting events of her own. She recruits Florence,
the daughter of her dad's business associate (and more of a
distraction than Jade bargained for) to help. But the house has
other plans. It's hungry. A home, after all, is only as powerful as
those who breathe new life into its bones. And this one is
determined never to be abandoned again ...
"There are no angels in Baton Noir. Only devils." Jude Lomax
scrapes a living playing the trumpet on the neon streets of Baton
Noir. Then she is invited to play at the funeral of the infamous
cajou queen, Ivory Monette. Passing through the cemetery gates,
Jude finds herself possessed by the murdered queen's spirit. And
Ivory won't rest until she's found the person responsible for her
death. If Jude wants to be rid of the vengeful spirit, she must
take a journey deep into the dangerous underbelly of the city, from
the swampy depths of the Black Bayou to the velvet opulence of the
vampires' secret jazz clubs. But as Jude untangles Ivory's web of
secrets, she is confronted with a few dark truths from her own
past... The first in an eagerly awaited series from the author of
FROZEN CHARLOTTE, a WHS Zoella Book Club title in 2016, which is
sure to enthral fans of Holly Black, Maggie Steifvater, Amanda
Foody and Stephanie Garber.
The dark night was strangely quiet. The moon had disappeared behind
the clouds, and there were absolutely no sounds. Not just quiet,
but total silence. Then the lonesome cry of a whippoorwill broke
the silence. Or was it really a whippoorwill!
A strange ghost-like figure appears during the night as the
twins and their cousin are camping in the Ozark Mountains above
Moore's Lake near Heber Springs, Arkansas. Akiela, the last of a
mysterious tribe of Native Americans, has come to warn the young
adventurers about evil men in the area of the lake. He seems to be
able to appear and disappear at will. He is very tall, and pale,
almost deathlike...his long white hair flowing to his narrow
shoulders. His eyes burn with agitation and displeasure at what is
happening to his beloved mountains.
