Tanjiro and the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps are back and facing their greatest challenge yet: school life! Welcome to Kimetsu Academy, a school attended by the most exceptional students you’ve ever seen! This comedic spin-off of the international smash hit Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba pits Tanjiro, Nezuko, and all the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps against the trials and tribulations of student life. School’s about to be out—forever! As the school’s culture festival approaches, Muzan seizes on an opportunity to finally take control of Kimetsu Academy! Will Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu be able to ensure their festival goes off without a hitch, or will their rocking musical performance end with a very real bang? And let’s not forget about Daki’s part-time job, a lesson on lending with Sanemi, and an educational hot pot experience with Rengoku!
A remastered 2-in-1 edition of the all-time classic hit from one of
Japan's most beloved creators, available for the first time in a
format faithful to the original work. One day, teenage martial
artist Ranma Saotome went on a training mission with his father and
ended up taking a dive into some cursed springs at a legendary
training ground in China. Now, every time he's splashed with cold
water, he changes into a girl. His father, Genma, changes into a
panda! What's a half-guy, half-girl to do? Contains volumes 5 and
6! Chinese Amazon warrior Shampoo hasn't given up on Ranma yet -
only instead of killing him, she now wants to marry him! There are
just a few obstacles in the way of their future happiness, though,
starting with a childhood phobia of Ranma's and followed by
Shampoo's suitor, Mousse, martial arts master of hidden weapons.
Can Ranma escape Shampoo's soap opera? Or a better question might
be, does he even want to?
From the author of "The Homesman," Glendon Swarthout's "Bless the
Beasts & Children" is the classic coming-of-age novel that
explores the fabric of the American ideal--as seen through the eyes
of rebellious youth.
"Send us a boy--we'll send you a cowboy" It doesn't matter if the
kid hates the sight of horses. Or if he still sucks his thumb and
wets the bed. He's got to be taught to toe the line. To measure up.
To dig in his spurs--because that's the way things are at the Box
Canyon Boys Camp in Arizona.
Based on the adventures of the author's own son, "Bless the Beasts
& Children" tells a tragicomic tale of a group of disturbed
teenaged boys from over-privileged families who are sent by their
inattentive parents to camp in hopes that their lazy, urban kids
will be toughened up in the cowboy program. Complications arise,
but these problem boys band together to take up an important cause.
In this remarkable novel, Glendon Swarthout presents an
electrifying portrait of six adolescent "misfits" on a desperate
mission to save themselves. And, in a society dedicated to one
narrow view of success, they learn something important about what
it means to be a man. This is "an exciting mission-pursuit story
with an engrossing cast of characters" ("Publishers Weekly").

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The
Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and
a devastating expose of the 'Jazz Age'. Through the narration of
Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially
glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore
in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but
wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that
surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of
American literature from the period following the First World War
and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.
In Laataandbiegstories en sulke dinge word die leser meegevoer deur onvergeetlike stories wat om die kampvuur lewe kry.
Soms is dit humoristies, soms deernisvol, soms skerp ironies, maar altyd boeiend. Daar word vertel van die nag van die donkie, van Tante wat sag word, van Pollie van die populiere en van die intrinsieke waarde van Victor, die lelike skaaphondkruising.
In Jan Nel se kortverhale herken die leser homself onomwonde; dis juis hoekom mens lag. Die mens, met al sy swakhede, bly tog maar mens, en om te lag is soveel makliker as om jouself te kasty.
Incorporating elements of fiction, nonfiction, drama, and
poetry, Diane Glancy's stories are lyrical yet down to earth, often
tough and gritty. Experimental, sometimes surreal in form, they
nevertheless concern people who are very real-a color-blind young
boy who watches planes in flight and imagines color; a shy stamp
collector who speculates that he and his friend, like the stamps,
could go anywhere via the U.S. Post Office; an old woman who dies
in the cold landscape of her inner life but retains her vision; a
cynical woman reluctant to take risks with yet another traveling
man.
In spite of life's hard realities, Firesticks is filled with
humor and hope and a stitching together of cultures, as the
crossblood characters search for their identities.
