Die Jasper-jeugreeks is die eerste keer uitgegee in 1959 en daar was verskeie herdrukke. Hierdie is die tiende titel in die Jasper-reeks. Vir enige kind sal dit ure se genot verskaf, want dit is 'n boek om te lees en te herlees. Saam met die Viermanskap is die leser bly oor die sukses wat behaal word en saam met die vriende word daar getreur oor die brandende sitvlakke! Saam met ‘n groep kinders van Leliesvlei se hoerskool, en onder toesig van meneer Basson, gaan Jasper die Wildtuin besoek. Maar op pad daarheen - en nogal op ‘n steil bergpas en in gietende reen van ‘n Laeveldse donderstorm - raak die bus waarmee hulle reis onklaar. En lank nadat die donderstorm bedaar het, staan die logge ou rooi gevaarte nog al die tyd langs die pad, te steeks om ‘n wiel te verroer. Intussen begin dit reeds donker word en meneer Basson word onrustig. Nou nie heeltemal met meneer Basson se toestemming nie, besluit Jasper en sy drie maats dat hulle die wereld moet gaan verken en kyk of hulle nie hulp kan kry nie. En ja werklik, voordat hulle baie ver gevorder het, hoor hulle die gedreun van ‘n vragmotor, wat hulle na ‘n afgesonderde plaashuis lei. Omhul deur die waas van geheimsinnigheid, le die huis tussen die bosse, sonder ‘n lig of enige ander teken van lewe, behalwe die vragmotor wat daar staan. Jasper se kort hare gaan staan nog regopper as gewoonlik, maar hy besluit om deur te druk met sy ondersoek. Hy is immers die leier van die Viermanskap. Maar hy moes liewer net daar omgedraai en teruggestap het skoolbus toe. Dit sou beter gewees het vir almal … Kom deel in die avonture van Jasper!

Filled with mystery and an intriguingly rich magic system, Tracy Deonn’s YA contemporary fantasy Legendborn offers the dark allure of City of Bones with a modern-day twist on a classic legend and a lot of Southern Black Girl Magic. An explosive fantasy debut that's perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Sarah J. Maas and Cinderella is Dead!

After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential programme for bright high-schoolers at UNC – Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape – until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.

A flying demon feeding on human energies.

A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.

And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts – and fails – to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.

The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.

She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets – and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down – or join the fight.

13-year-old Leo Jantjies loves playing Theatre of Gods and Heroes (TOGAH). He’d play all day and night if he could – if it weren’t for nuisances like school and chores.

When a clip of Leo playing TOGAH goes viral, he doesn’t expect to get a call from a pro team wanting to recruit him for the Esports World Championship in Paris.

But soon Leo, his best friend Fiks, and his sister Lauren jet off to Europe for an adventure none of them thought was possible.

You're an adult now. Right?
