Olaf Grotentaf, die gevreesde leier van die Noormanne, ken geen
vrees nie. Daarom wil by 'n bangbroek leer wat vrees is, want hy
dink dit laat 'n mens vlieg. Hy en sy manne doen aan by die
Galliese kus en ontvoer vir Spiekerix, Allamapstix se kleinneef. Hy
moet hulle leer wat vrees is. Weer eens moet Asterix en Obelix
inspring om hul hoofman se nefie te red.
"Gramps Variety of Stories" takes you back to the time of the Great
Depression, country schools and rural life. Others will bring you
to the present time and the changes in the way of life. The stories
show that family love was present no matter in which generation you
lived. Santa and Christmas make several appearances throughout the
book. Little Toot, the toy train, and Wayne the Elf, take another
trip to the North Pole with two kindergarten classes. This trip
shows the generosity of the children. There are stories about
sickness and disease, which confronts children, such as eating too
many green apples and the dreaded polio. One story delves into the
disorder now known as Ataxia. It was written to make the general
public aware that there is such a disorder and it is real. Some of
the stories show the mischievousness of children and also their
ingenuity. Put all these together and you have a book of "Gramp's
Variety of Stories," that can be read and enjoyed by readers of all
ages.

A fierce, feminist, and fun middle grade fantasy graphic novel about a twelve-year-old Indian American girl named Shakti who must learn the power of her ancestral magic if she wants to save her family and town from a dangerous curse. Written by Stonewall Honor Book recipient and Lambda Literary Fellow SJ Sindu and illustrated by Nabi H. Ali.
Shakti is used to being the new girl at school. She and her two moms have moved more times than she can count. With her unborn baby brother on the way, Shakti hopes her family has found their forever home in Amherst, Massachusetts, and that she can finally make friends.
On her first day of seventh grade, she meets Xi and they bond over their shared passion for manga (and pizza with mayo). But the three meanest girls in school—Harini, Emily, and Kelly (aka “HEK”)—are determined to make life miserable for Shakti and her new friends.
When Shakti and Xi discover HEK casting spells in the woods, they fear what might happen to the other kids at school. Drawing on ancient Indian magic, Shakti seeks the aid of Durga Ma to stop HEK. But instead, Shakti accidentally conjures Kali Ma, the destroyer—Durga Ma's dangerous twin. Kali Ma punishes HEK by transforming them into monsters and curses the entire town. As more and more people begin to fall ill, including Shakti’s mom, will Shakti be able to harness her own strength, power, and empathy to save those she loves—and put an end to all the hate?
Another silly story in the Mr Men Magic series! It's perhaps not so

giant gingerbread man. But before he has the chance to enjoy his

can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man! The Mr Men and
Little Miss Magic series takes kids on a series of sparkling
adventures where they meet some extraordinary characters including
a dragon, an ogre, a mermaid, a princess, a fairy, pirates and many
others. These colourful adventures will delight children of two
years and upwards. Bold illustrations and funny stories make Mr Men
and Little Miss the perfect story time experience.

A modern middle-grade graphic novel retelling of Beowulf, featuring a gang of troublemaking kids who must defend their tree house from a fun-hating adult who can instantly turn children into grown-ups.
Listen! Hear a tale of mallow-munchers and warriors who answer candy’s clarion call!
Somewhere in a generic suburb stands Treeheart, a kid-forged sanctuary where generations of tireless tykes have spent their youths making merry, spilling soda, and staving off the shadow of adulthood. One day, these brave warriors find their fun cut short by their nefarious neighbor Grindle, who can no longer tolerate the sounds of mirth seeping into his joyless adult life.
As the guardian of gloom lays siege to Treeheart, scores of kids suddenly find themselves transformed into pimply teenagers and sullen adults! The survivors of the onslaught cry out for a savior―a warrior whose will is unbreakable and whose appetite for mischief is unbounded.
They call for Bea Wolf.

graphic novel in the awesome-packed, New York Times bestselling

game is by far best: Super Realistic (And Totally Not Made Up)
Zombie Battles from the War of 1812. Even though in Duddy's opinion
the updated version doesn't stand up to the classic original, it
doesn't mean that he can't quickly rack up all the power-ups,
bonuses, and achievements to show the kids-Lexi, Mike, Chase, and
Shawn-how it's done. That is until the game freezes! The family
heads to the Shady Acres Mall to fix their controller, but while at
the game store, one wrong click causes all the characters from the
Zombie Battles game to explode into the real world. It's total
mayhem! Now Duddy, Moomy, Lexi, Mike, Chase, and Shawn have to
fight their own avatars in order to save the world-but will they be
able to stop the army of world-conquering video game villains
