"Twenty-five days ago, something awful happened, and I made a promise to myself. Never to leave home again."
Pete loves the pizza shop, where he lives with his dad, and is terrified of the outside world. But when a new restaurant steals their customers, Pete and his friend Anna have to come up with an INGENIOUS plan to sell more pizzas, otherwise he’ll be forced to move.
When they find a mysterious briefcase in the attic, they create the most extraordinary magical pizzas, and soon a queue of customers snakes down the road. But can they make enough money in four days to save Pete’s home?
Throw in an exploding headmistress, a fire-breathing dog and a vengeful bully and Pete’s life soon ramps up from Margherita to Spicy Pepperoni!
Amber is onseker van haar voorkoms. Is sy mooi? Sy maak 'n
anonieme youtube-video waarin sy mense vra om haar
voorkoms te beoordeel, maar dit beland per ongeluk op haar
facebookblad. Tim is gewild, maar sy meisie het hom sopas
afgesê vir een van die rugby-ouens. 'n Toevallige ontmoeting
tussen Tim en Amber lei tot 'n ongewone vriendskap, maar sal
Amber die moed hê om haar spoke te konfronteer? En sal Tim
haar ware skoonheid raaksien?
An empowering story about finding your identity and the courage to
fight for it. Aaliyah is an ordinary thirteen-year-old living in
the Midlands - she's into her books, shoes, K-pop and she is a
Muslim. She has always felt at home where she lives ... until a
terrorist attack in her area changes everything. As racial tensions
increase and she starts getting bullied, Aaliyah decides to begin
wearing a hijab - to challenge how people in her community see her.
But when her school bans the hijab and she is intimidated and
attacked for her choices, she feels isolated. Soon Aaliyah realises
that other young people from different backgrounds also struggle
with their identity and feel alone, scared and judged. Should she
try to blend in - or can she find allies to help her fight back?
Channelling all of her bravery, Aaliyah decides to speak out.
Together, can Aaliyah and her friends halt the tide of hatred
rippling through their community? An essential read to encourage
empathy, challenging stereotypes, exploring prejudice, racism,
Islamophobia and positive action. A.M. Dassu is the award-winning
author of the critically acclaimed Boy, Everywhere, A story of
hope, speaking up and the power of coming together in the face of
hatred. Perfect for readers of Elle McNicoll and Helen Rutter "A
major, much needed voice in UK children's fiction." Alex Wheatle,
author of Cane Warriors and Crongton Knights "One of the best, most
relevant, most important writers we have in the UK today." Liz

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.
