Maar dis Mieke wat die dieper kant van die meisie leer ken, en uitvind waarom sy en Smiley, die outjie wat gedurig 'n nuwe blouoog het, soveel in gemeen het. Die ontkoping is die finaal van Miss Eco Warrior, met afskeid en oorgang vir beide Mieke en Fen wat deur die storie verweef is.

Greg Heffley verpes verrassings – veral op sy verjaardag. Maar hy sou hom nooit die skokkende planne kon verbeel wat sy gesin hierdie jaar vir hom in gedagte het nie.

Wanneer Greg se partytjieplanne begin uitrafel, hoop hy nog sy verjaardagwens word waar – ’n gesogte ruilkaart wat ’n fortuin werd is. Die probleem is dat hy nie alleen is wat daarvan droom nie. Die kanse is skraal dat hy dit gaan opraap.

Gaan Greg se verjaardagdrome waar word? Of gaan hy leer om versigtig te wees waarvoor hy wens?

It is 2003 – ten years since Spud Milton’s class of 93 matriculated. Despite their seemingly unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight – Rambo, Mad Dog, Vern, Fatty, Garth Garlic, Boggo, Simon and Spud – have not kept in touch. An invitation from the school to attend the ten-year reunion weekend has an unsettling effect on the former scholarship boy. One thing Spud knows for sure: there is no way he’ll be attending the reunion. The prospect of having to reveal his decade of spectacular non-achievement to his former classmates hardens his resolve.

At twenty-eight Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis. His glittering theatre career might have stalled before it’s even begun. Not only that, he still doesn’t have a girlfriend and circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and Wombat, his senile grandmother.

But Spud hasn’t reckoned with a bombardment of messages and darkly threatening phone calls about the reunion that see his curiosity piqued. It’s just a weekend, after all … what could possibly go wrong?

Kan ’n ongewone stokperdjie jou span se rugbytoer red? Hoe ver sal jy gaan om seker te maak jy het genoeg tydvir soveel sportsoorte as moontlik? Kan ’n klomp vrotperskes die begin van ’n cool nuwe sportsoort wees?

Hierdie boek bevat 7 sportstories wat jou tone sal laatomkrul van lekkerkry!

It is 2003 – ten years since Spud Milton’s class of 93 matriculated and the boys went their separate ways. Despite their seemingly unbreakable bond, the Crazy 8 – Rambo, Mad Dog, Vern, Fatty, Garth Garlic, Boggo, Simon and Spud – have not kept in touch. Or at least, not as far as Spud knows. When he receives an invitation from the school to attend the 10 Year Reunion weekend, Spud is determined to avoid the event at all costs, but he hasn’t reckoned with the bombardment of intrusive messages and threatening phone calls from his former dorm mates. No one is going to bend his arm, not this time; he is immune to peer pressure and wise to Rambo’s devious manipulation techniques. Spud has moved on. And, anyway, he has enough to worry about on the home front.

At 28 Spud is stuck in a one-third life crisis. Reflecting on a decade of spectacular non-achievement, at a point where he’s coming to realise that his glittering stage career might have stalled before it’s even begun, casts him into deep gloom. For the former scholarship kid, the prospect of once again having to measure up to his blue-blooded school friends – and be found wanting – has him riddled with anxiety. Not only that. Spud still doesn’t have a serious girlfriend, which has seen him resort to a questionable international bathsexting relationship with an old flame. Not to mention that circumstances have forced him to move back in with his parents and his senile grandmother, Wombat, whose walks never end where they began.

After a wildly unsuccessful fishing trip with his father, as well as a return to his old way of figuring things out – writing in his diary – to his own surprise, Spud finds his reunion resistance crumbling. Curiosity and courage win the day. It’s just a weekend, after all … what could possibly go wrong?

Antoine or Daniel (I can't decide!) to surprise me on Christmas Day with a grand romantic gesture
Cash (lots of it!)
A new diary (I'm really getting through them!)

Lots of love,

Doktor Bleek is dalk nie so wild soos mevrou Org of so vreemd soos juffrou Putia nie, maar hy neem die skool terug na die vorige eeu toe. Toe die klas probeer om teen doktor Bleek se streng nuwe reëls te protesteer, lyk dit asof ’n nuwe leerling hulle wil verdeel – Mike Nuss. Mike is slim, snaaks en perfek ... te perfek. Kan Arlo die raaisel betyds oplos om die skool te red? “4X is die wildste, stoutste en luiste klas wat ek ooit moes trotseer.” Dinge lyk glad nie goed vir 4X nie. Met nóg ’n onderwyser wat skreeuend weghol, wonder Arlo hoe lank die nuwe onderwyser sal uithou. Toe mevrou Org vir 4X dieretuin toe neem, weet Arlo hy sal moet seker maak dat 4X nie in die moeilikheid beland nie. Maar wat mevrou Org hulle nié gesê het nie is dat hierdie dieretuin nie ’n gewone dieretuin is nie …

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!

Lottie Brooks is byna 12 jaar oud en haar lewe is amptelik verby. Sy gaan amper hoërskool toe sonder enige vriende aan haar sy of ’n swierige kapsel. Boonop het sy besef dat sy te plat is om ’n BRA te dra! Sy kan maar net so wel opgee en hiberneer saam met haar hamsters.

Minki en haar twee beste maats, Natalie en Lara, kan nie wag vir hulle pajamapartytjie met ’n llama-tema nie. Hulle gaan llama-koekies bak en versier, hulle gaan hulle naels verf en llama-plakkers opplak en dan gaan hulle hulself trommeldik eet aan die lekkergoed in die llama-piñata wat Natalie self gemaak het.

Maar toe die aand van die pajamapartytjie uiteindelik aanbreek, loop die een ding na die ander skeef. Minki se tweeling-boeties byt die llama-koekies se koppe af, daar mors naellak op Natalie se splinternuwe nagklere en Lara is allergies vir die grondboontjies in die piñata-lekkers. Die pajamapartytjie waarna hulle so uitgesien het, is ’n reuse-flop! Gelukkig het Minki ’n slim plan om vir haar maats te wys dat hulle vriendskap enigiets kan oorleef …
