Chaos and mayhem reign as Izzy and her friends take on another
hilarious (mis)adventure. There's no such thing as an ordinary day
at school when they're around... Izzy and her friends overhear
their head teacher talking about "missing treasure" and "running
out of time". They know this means there's TREASURE buried in the
school somewhere and that Mr Graves wants it all for himself. So
Jodi says they've got to find it first, and they should start by
searching the staffroom. After seeing things they will never
forget, they head to the basement. Gary Petrie's dad is working
down there and he's seen something SHINY! So they send Zach's cat
down with a camera strapped to her head and study the footage
carefully. What they see is SHOCKING and CHANGES EVERYTHING. It's
not treasure in the basement, it's a BEAST with SHINING EYES and
it's coming to get them! RUN!!!

Eers wil ek iets net baie duidelik maak: Hierdie is 'n Joernaal en nie 'n dagboek nie. Ek weet wat dit op die omslag se, maar toe Ma hierdie ding gaan koop het, het ek spesifiek gevra om een te kry waarop daar nie "dagboek" staan nie. Die enigste rede hoekom ek enigsins ja gese het vir die ding, is sodat ek dit eendag kan gebruik as ek ryk en beroemd is. Maar nou is ek eers vasgekeer tussen 'n klomp morone.
Vandag is die eerste dag van skool. Toe dink ek ek kan maar netsowel in hierdie boek skryf om die tyd vinniger te laat verbygaan.
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
Kessler, author of When the World was Ours "A. M. Dassu serves up
an important, necessary book about racism and identity." Nizrana
Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant "Unflinchingly
honest, heartbreaking, powerful, important and hopeful." Sophie
Wills, author of The Orphans of St Halibuts "Tense, terrifying,
transformative. The power of this book punched me right in the
chest. Read it, share it, shout about it. The world needs this
book." Kathryn Evans, author of More of Me "A.M. Dassu is a
fearless writer tackling themes of racism in the lives of
contemporary teens." Liz Flanagan, award-winning author
From the author of the Zoella Book Club-pick Letters to the Lost comes another emotionally complex, romantic story about two teens struggling to unpick the grey area between right and wrong, perfect for fans of John Green and Jennifer Niven
Rob had it all – friends, a near-guaranteed lacrosse scholarship to college and an amazing family – but all that changed when his dad was caught embezzling funds from half the town. Now he's a social pariah.
Maegan always does the right thing. But when her sister comes home from college pregnant, she's caught between telling their parents the truth about the father and keeping her sister's trust.
When Rob and Maegan are paired together for a project, they form an unexpectedly deep connection. But Rob's plan to fix his father's damage could ruin more than their new friendship …
