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!

"The most influential anticruelty novel of all time."-Bernard Unti
Black Beauty (1877), the only novel from Anna Sewell, was the first
book ever written from the singular viewpoint of an animal. The
fictional narrative, told by Black Beauty, a genial thoroughbred,
was initially written by the author "to induce kindness, sympathy,
and an understanding treatment of horses." Over time the book has
become a classic book for children, despite its initial adult
readership. The book is considered the advent of the
Anthropomorphic literary genre. Black Beauty, the gentle horse and
narrator of the story, begins with recollection of an idyllic youth
with his mother and other kind horses. When Black Beauty is four
years old, his owner sells him to Squire Gordon, who provides a
caring home among other horses. One of the squire's other horses, a
headstrong chestnut named Ginger, becomes Black Beauty's best
friend. When the squire's wife becomes seriously ill, the couple
are forced to sell their horses; in a heartbreaking turn of events,
Black Beauty is sold in a succession of transactions where he is
mistreated, overworked, and separated from Ginger. Although
scarred, Black Beauty is resilient and eventually is returned to a
life of kindness and care. This deeply moving story aimed towards
the awareness of animal welfare was influential reforms in the laws
regarding the treatment of horses; yet, its enduring legacy is the
massage of compassion that has touched readers for more than 200
years. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Black Beauty is both modern and
readable.

It's an all-new horror classic about what happens when the truth is
the last thing we want to believe, from Bram Stoker Award-winner
and master of thrills and chills, horror legend Adam Cesare. After
barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive,
Quinn's first year away at college should be safe and easy. All she
wants is to be normal again. But instead, Quinn finds that her past
won't leave her alone when she becomes the focus of online
conspiracy theories that claim the Kettle Springs Massacre never
happened. It's a deranged but relentless fantasy, and there's
nothing Quinn can do to get people to hear the truth-not even on
her own campus or in her own dorm room. So when a murderous clown
attacks Quinn at a frat party while another goes after her father
in Kettle Springs at the same time, Quinn realizes that the facts
alone are never going to save her. Her only option is to go back
into the cornfields, back where the nightmare began, to set the
record straight the only way she knows how. Because when the truth
gets lost in the lies, that's when people start to die. Clown in a
Cornfield was 2020's Bram Stoker Award Winner for Superior
Achievement in a Young Adult Novel. Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo
Lives is perfectly set to attract old and new fans to the series.
