You're an adult now. Right?
Callie Andrews got into the most prestigious university in the
world. Awesome! But now she has to actually go there. And Harvard,
she quickly realizes, is about far more than freedom from parents
and making the grades. It's about the elite parties, and the social
connections, and the boys. OMG: the boys. Callie's love life is the
definition of complicated. Especially when her deepest secret falls
into the hands of her archenemy.
Morena loves his new school! There are so many fun extramural
activities and games to play that he and his friends have set up
their own championship. Before school starts and at break Morena
and his friends plays marbles, cards, soccer and shoot hoops. After
school they take the soccer online or jump into go-karts. Morena is
determined to get all the points! But it isn't just sports that he
excels at, he can come up with a rap song on the spot and has a
hilarious idea for an assignment that involves bringing your
favourite traditional food to school. He can't wait to see the
teacher's reaction after the whole class experiences the effects of
eating samp and beans! If there's one thing Morena takes seriously
it is being the captain of his school's softball team. He is good
at pitching and his twin sister Rorisang is an excellent batter.
But their team keeps losing! Morena isn't scared of a challenge,
he'll try his best at any game to be a superstar. How can he help
his team to do their best? A heart-warming story that celebrates
family, friendship and working together. The book is also available
in isiZulu, isiXhosa and Afrikaans.
Boys. 7 of them, to be exact.
Megan is used to moving from place to place -- it's typical for an
army brat. But she drew the line at South Korea. She insists on
staying in the States to finish her last two years of high school.
So her parents made arrangements for Megan to live with their
friends, the McGowans...and the McGowans' 7 sons.
Turns out, living with 7 boys might as well be a foreign country
The boys are messy. They are cliquey (who knew?). And worst of all,
two of the oldest boys are H-O-T. (A problem considering they are
supposed to be Megan's "brothers.") Megan is definitely in enemy
territory. She needs to win over the boys' hearts without totally
crushing her own.
And when Megan starts falling for one of them, sibling rivalry
takes on a whole new meaning....
What is a girl to do?

Now an Oscar nominated film starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay.
'My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.'
Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?
WONDER is a funny, frank, astonishingly moving debut to read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page.
Met Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway kan jonk en oud van voor af die vreugde van Tienie Holloway-verse ontdek en in die proses terugkeer na die eenvoud van doodgewone dinge – padkos, pannekoek, pantoffels wat slof, touspring, ’n windpomp, waatlemoen, ’n toktokkie wat klop, of sommer net appelkooskonfyt op ’n sny brood!
Vandag is daar amper nie ’n generasie wat nie hier en daar ’n versreël of strofe uit ’n Tienie Holloway-vers onthou nie. Ongelukkig is haar bundels dun gesaai en nog net hier en daar op ’n biblioteekrak in ’n plattelandse dorp te vinde. Die beste kinderverse van Tienie Holloway is saamgestel deur Wendy Maartens en van pragtige volkleurillustrasies voorsien deur Alida Bothma.
