Like lightning/you strike/fast and free/legs zoom/down field/eyes
fixed/on the checkered ball/on the goal/ten yards to go/can't
nobody stop you/can't nobody cop you... Twelve-year-old Nick is a
football-mad boy who absolutely hates books. In this graphic novel
adaptation of the acclaimed verse novel, football, family, love,
and friendship take centre stage as Nick tries to figure out how to
navigate his parents' break-up, stand up to bullies, and impress
the girl of his dreams. These challenges - which seem even harder
than scoring a tie-breaking, game-winning goal - change his life,
as well as his best friend's.

Bluey goes camping with her family and makes a new friend named
Jean-Luc! Despite the language barrier, they have fun planting

Hulle is in dieselfde skool, maar lewe in twee teenoorgestelde wêrelde.
Sy is vet en vaal; hy is ‘n joller en die skoolhartebreker. Deur ’n simpele insident vang en hou Evie per ongeluk Joshua se aandag. Tyd om haar te bekommer oor die lang lys gebroke harte op Joshua se kerfstok is daar nie, want om soos ‘n voëltjie te eet en terselfdertyd te oefen vir ‘n onmoontlike halfmarathon is blerrie harde werk.
Tog begin die lewe baie interessant lyk. Maar dan daag Joshua se dinamiese, befoeterde ouer broer op om ‘n breek te neem van sy mediese studies en Evie se wêreld draai heeltemal op sy kop.
Hierdie splinternuwe jeugroman is ‘n goed verdoeselde hardloopgids geskryf vir enige tiener wat moed, kennis of motivering nodig het om na ‘n paar tekkies te reik!

Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.
