Twenty-one-year-old Zulaikha Patel started her activism at the age of 13, when she started a movement called Stop Racism at Pretoria High School for Girls, because the rules at her high school included that black girls had to straighten their natural curly hair. Her stance sparked a countrywide movement.

scientist and inventor whose groundbreaking inventions we continue
to use today. Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian
Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers

Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn
Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games
series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days.
After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the
Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique
profiling talents, these murders seem baffling: unlike many serial
killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims
were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security
feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist.
Hidden in the numbers is a code - and the closer the Naturals come to
unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.
Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more
painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in
her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team
mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds - and
impossible choices.
Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.
This uplifting picture book showcases the amazing work our
frontline staff do, the incredible skills they have and the
important equipment they need to save a life, in a unique graphic
novel-inspired non-fiction format. With a foreword by British
celebrity Dr Zoe Williams.
In The Worst Children's Jobs in History Sir Tony Robinson takes you
back to the days when being a kid was no excuse for getting out of
hard labour. This book tells the stories of all the children whose
work fed the nation, kept trains running, and put clothes on
everyone's backs, over the last few hundred years of Britain's
history. No longer will you have to listen to your parents,
grandparents, uncles, neighbours, and random old people in the
Co-op telling you how much harder they had it in their day. Next
time you find yourself in that situation, ask them if they were a
jigger-turner or a turnip-picker in their young day. No? An orderly
boy, perhaps? A stepper? Maybe they spent their weekends making
matchboxes? Still no? Then they have no idea about the real meaning
of hard work. With profiles and testimonies of real kids in rotten
jobs, this book will tell you things you probably didn't want to
know about the back-breaking, puke-inducing reality of being a
child in the past. For more gruesome history facts discover Bad
Kids: The Naughtiest Children in History.
