Rafe is finally getting a taste of the cool life – but his problems are red-hot.

Rafe Khatchadorian has never been cool. But all that changes when he becomes the guitarist in an awesome rock band and wrangles a part-time job at Hills Village's trendiest new coffee shop slash yoga studio. No more being at the bottom of middle school food chain – Rafe is finally going to be popular!

He just has two teeny problems: the awesome rock band is led by none other than the school bully. And the band actually isn't awesome – they absolutely stink, and Rafe has to whip them into shape for the Best Band Competition.

With Rafe's newfound coolness on the line, will he find a way to hit the stage in style, or is he doomed to dorkdom forever?

Vir sy 10de verjaardag wens Jaco net vir een ding: 'n hond! En hy wil 'n hondepartytjie hê, met hondekolwyntjies.

Maar gaan sy ouers vir hom die geskenk van sy drome gee? Sal sy gunsteling-sanggroep, Wagter en die waghonde, by sy partytjie kan wees? En wie moet hy nooi: net sy maats wat van honde hou of almal in sy klas? En wat moet hy doen as sy partytjie skielik heeltemal skeef loop, of as die hond wat hy kry in iets eienaardigs verander?

'n Storie propvol kinkels en keuses!

Volgens die skoolhoof is 4B DIE STOUTSTE KLAS OP AARDE. Sy sê skool gaan nie oor leeglê en lyf wegsteek, of pret hê nie. Dit gaan oor LEER. Maar Alex en Manjit het LETTERLIK nie bedoel om die toilette te verstop terwyl hulle die skoolgrond moes oppas nie. En hulle het definitief nie bedoel om LETTERLIK 'n pikkewyn vanaf die dieretuin skool toe te bring na hulle skooluitstappie nie. Hierdie goed gebeur net al het hulle 'n perfekte plan gehad om daarmee weg te kom!

Kwaaikofski lê met 'n gebreekte been in die hospitaal. En boonop besteel 'n dief almal op die kindervloer. Kwaaikofski begin die saak ondersoek - al is sy been in gips. Hy maak Monty, die seun met wie hy 'n kamer deel, sy assistent. Monty kan oral rondloop, maar hy kan nie praat nie, want sy kakebeen is gebreek. Hierdie saak gaan 'n tameletjie wees, maar Kwaaikofski laat hom nie onderkry nie!

The story takes the form of a series of emails written by Luntu Masiza to his grade 11 English and History teacher, Mr Bali, to fulfil a school holiday assignment.

Over the course of these emails, the reader hears the story of a particularly challenging year in Luntu’s life.

Brilliantly, through Luntu’s words we also access the life lessons passed on by a remarkable teacher, whose wisdom pulls Luntu back from the brink.

Kwaaikofski verwag net een ding van skool: rus en vrede! Dit is tog die enigste plek waar ’n besige privaat speurder kan ontspan. Maar nou moet hy ondersoeke in sy eie klas doen!

Die nuwe seun in die klas is in groot moeilikheid. Die oplossing is voor die hand liggend: Kwaaikofski lok die skuldiges in ’n onweerstaanbare soet lokval!
