Dit is vakansietyd: die weer is heerlik en almal geniet hulle gate uit buite. So, waar is Greg Heffley? Binne-in die huis besig om videospeletjies te speel met die gordyne toe.
Greg, 'n selferkende "binneshuise persoon", ervaar sy heerlikste vakansiefantasie: geen verantwoordelikhede en geen reëls. Maar Greg se ma se idee van 'n perfekte vakansie is nie dieselfde nie. Sy glo aan buitemuurse pret en "gesinstyd".
Wie se idee gaan wen? Of sal 'n nuwe toevoeging tot die Heffley-gesin alles verander?

"The Haunted Pavilion" is a collection of nine Patricia McCune

'What I have attempted to do in these twelve chapters is retell
some of the most powerful and moving stories in the Bible from the
point of view of a young person. More than anything, I wanted it to
be engaging and enjoyable to read.' Robin Bennett
The 26-Storey Treehouse is the second book in Andy Griffith's and Terry Denton's wacky treehouse adventures, where the laugh-out-loud story is told through a combination of text and fantastic comic book-style illustrations – perfect for fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs. Monkey.
Andy and Terry have expanded their treehouse! There are now thirteen brand-new storeys, including a dodgem-car rink, a skate ramp, a mud-fighting arena, an antigravity chamber, an ice-cream parlour with seventy-eight flavours run by an ice-cream-serving robot called Edward Scooperhands, and the Maze of Doom – a maze so complicated that nobody who has gone in has ever come out again . . . Well, not yet anyway.
This time, the two friends have a whole week to finish their next book, and Andy even knows what it should be about: the story of how he and Terry first met. But life is NEVER boring in the treehouse, and emergency shark operations, giant storms, and wooden pirate heads are just the beginning . . .
Well, what are you waiting for? Come on up!
Have you ever wondered what happens to your socks when they
disappear in the dryer, why some paths one takes in life are
difficultly reversible, if short can be sweet, why simplicity is
virtuous, why it's OK to let your actions speak for themselves, why
so many obstacles must be overcome before absconding for a weekend,
if it's OK to be different, why humility has its hmmph, why one
must often do for themselves in order to do something right, or why
it's OK to say "No" in order to remain focused on what's important?
These and other very important questions, conundrums and quandaries
are delved in Whim, Woe And Wonder (Tales For The Ever Present
Child).
Radar says: "Read this Book! Great Entertainment for the Whole
Family! [And the Monsters Under Your Bed, Too!] Wonderful story
poem and prose tales for our trying times!"
These tales will enchant Adults, Young Adults, Tweens and even
Precocious Children alike!
'The Call of the Wild' is one of Jack London's most popular novels.
The story follows a dog named Buck, a 140lb Saint Bernard and
Scotch Shepard mix. Buck is abducted from a comfortable life as a
pet and tossed into the chaos of the Klondike Gold Rush and the
brutal realities of frontier life. Buck changes hands a number of
times before landing in the kindly hands of John Thornton. Thornton
takes ownership of Buck from a trio of ignorant stampeders, intent
upon making a dangerous river crossing. Buck refuses to cross,
despite a vicious beating. Thornton recognizes the dogs
intelligence and strength. He steps in to claim the dog and nurses
Buck back to health. But Buck is forever changed by the treatment
he has received at the hands of other men. Jack London spent a year
living in the Yukon and drew heavily upon his experiences there
while writing the book. He later said, "It was in the Klondike that
I found myself."
Can I Build Another Me? follows a child's hilarious, wildly
inventive train of thought as he decides to make a clone of himself
- and starts to ponder what makes him HIM. Is it the scar on his
knee or his sticky palms? Is it his love of acorns or the way he
winks? The more he thinks about it, the more complicated it
becomes..
