'Ripping good fun' The Times

'Plotting is what sets this book apart; this is about who was where at the time of the murder, and it's about finding the chink in the alibi' Telegraph

At Deapdean School for Girls, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong have set up their own detective agency. But they are struggling to find any real crimes to investigate...

(Unless you count the case of Lavinia's missing tie. Which they don't.)

Then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym.

To add to the mystery, when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared.

Now Hazel and Daisy not only have a murder to solve: they have to prove one happened in the first place.

Determined to get to the bottom of the crime before the killer strikes again Hazel and Daisy must hunt for evidence, spy on their suspects and use all the cunning and intuition they can muster.

But will they succeed? And can their friendship stand the test?

'A skilful blend of golden era crime novel and boarding school romp . . . The novel works both as an affectionate satire and an effective murder mystery, and Stevens can go places Enid Blyton never dreamt of . . . Top class' Financial Times

Small Things (Hardcover): Mel Tregonning Small Things (Hardcover)
Mel Tregonning; Illustrated by Mel Tregonning
R470 Discovery Miles 4 700 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Three starred reviews called Small Things "monumental" (Booklist), "superb" (School Library Journal) and "intense" (Foreword Reviews). In this short, wordless graphic picture book, a young boy feels alone with his anxiety. He isn't fitting in well at school. His grades are slipping. He's even lashing out at those who love him. Talented Australian artist Mel Tregonning created Small Things in the final year of her life. In her emotionally rich illustrations, the boy's worries manifest as tiny beings that crowd around him constantly, overwhelming him and even gnawing away at his very self. The striking imagery is all the more powerful when, overcoming his isolation at last, the boy discovers that the tiny demons of worry surround everyone, even those who seem to have it all together. This short but hard-hitting wordless graphic picture book gets to the heart of childhood anxiety and opens the way for dialogue about acceptance, vulnerability, and the universal experience of worry.

Wat het geword van elke man vir homself?

Charlie Flets is 17, taai en ʼn 800m atleet op pad na SA’s. Behalwe vir sy skaaphond buddy, Bravo, en vriend, Jordan Jafta, probeer Charlie sy bes om solo te vlieg. Probeer ...

Dis makliker gesê as gedaan, veral as jou buddies moeilikheid kry.

Terwyl hy bloed sweet op die atletiekbaan, maak hy seker dat hy nie per ongeluk ʼn barmhartige Samaritaan soos die res van sy gesin word nie. Hy fokus eerder op sy eie oorlewing, want hy haat dit dat sy pa ’n helikoptervlieënier in die lewensgevaarlike Soedan is en hy haat dit dat sy ma alles en almal in nood help. Soos die uiters vreemde tannie San wat haar intrek in sý buitekamer kom neem het.

En dan tel Charlie teensinnig ʼn verlore joernaal op en teen sy beterwete probeer hy die eienaar opspoor. Skielik word sy eie planne van alleen leef ontspoor, want die joernaal maak ʼn ander wêreld vir hom oop.
