En wat het die lekkergoedfabriek daarmee te doen? Saam met haar nuwe vriend, Markus, besluit Sanri om die geheim te probeer ontrafel …

2: Die aliens oorkant die straat

Toe daar nuwe intrekkers oorkant die straat is, begin Sanri se neus kriewel - soos altyd wanneer sy 'n lekker sappige storie ruik. Hoekom trek die nuwe mense een nag tydens 'n woeste donderstorm in? Waarom ry hulle met so 'n vreemde borrelkar? En waarom tree die twee kinders met hulle silwerwit hare so snaaks op? Sanri is seker hulle nuwe bure is aliens. Sy moet net die bewyse kry, anders kan sy vergeet daarvan om 'n storie daaroor te skryf.

4: Die spookmeisie van Raaiselfontein

Or will his own mistakes give final victory to the dark?

Bastian is mal oor outydse goed. Dalk is dit omdat sy pa al jare lank ’n antiekwinkel het. Die winkel se naam is Optelgoed. Dit is op die onderste verdieping van ’n groot ou huis geleë. Bastian en sy pa bly op die boonste verdieping.

Bastian versamel graag vreemde goed, soos:

• valstande,
• ou brille,
• posseëls met vlermuise op, (Hy het nog net dertien – daar is nie baie seëls met vlermuise op nie.)
• skilderye van katte, (Hiervan hou Cheddar, sy troetelrot, glad nie.)
• porselein-uile,
• en boeke met spookstories.

Rebecca Podos, Lambda Award-winning author of Like Water, returns with a contemporary Jewish fantasy of enduring love, unfathomable loss, and the power of stories to hold us together when it seems that nothing else can. Hannah's whole life has been spent in motion. Her mother has kept her and her brother, Gabe, on the road for as long as she can remember, leaving a trail of rental homes and faded relationships behind them. No roots, no family but one another, and no explanations. All that changes on Hannah's seventeenth birthday when she wakes up transformed, a pair of golden eyes with knife-slit pupils blinking back at her from the mirror-the first of many such impossible mutations. Promising that she knows someone who can help, her mother leaves Hannah and Gabe behind to find a cure. But as the days turn to weeks and their mother doesn't return, they realize it's up to them to find the truth. What they discover is a family they never knew and a history more tragic and fantastical than Hannah could have dreamed-one that stretches back to her grandmother's childhood in Prague under the Nazi occupation, and beyond, into the realm of Jewish mysticism and legend. As the past comes crashing into the present, Hannah must hurry to unearth their family's secrets in order to break the curse and save the people she loves most, as well as herself.
