For Otis, this was a sleepover to remember - if only he could! When
dorky, unpopular 11-yr-old Otis wakes up in the morning at a
sleepover birthday party, he's in for a shock. At the marquee where
the sleepover took place, it's a scene of carnage and mayhem:
there's a donkey drinking at the chocolate fountain, a huge
inflatable helium sausage looms above, doves everywhere, one of the
kids has a tattoo, and there's a suitcase of bratwurst on the
floor! But what's weirdest of all, neither Otis nor the other kids
can remember what happened! The party was in the back garden of
popular kid Rocco Rococo's huge house, and Otis was only there
because his mum forced an invitation. Otis realizes that makes him
Prime Suspect for causing the mess, and he needs to clear his name.
Meanwhile, Rocco just needs to keep his parents from finding out!
So while everyone else makes a befuddled exit, Otis and Rocco
reluctantly team up to hide the evidence. They decide to retrace
their steps in the hope of solving the mystery... Simon James Green

Maar gelukkig ontmoet sy vir Megan en Karen, twee ruiters by haar nuwe ryskool.

than they can chew? Praise for A Pho Love Story: '(A) warm,

Rowell book.
"Throughout all my histories, I found no one I loved more than
you...no one."
Those were some of Rhode's last words to me. The last time he would
pronounce his love. The last time I would see his face.
It was the first time in 592 years I could take a breath. Lay in
the sun. Taste.
Rhode sacrificed himself so I, Lenah Beaudonte, could be human
again. So I could stop the blood lust.
I never expected to fall in love with someone else that wasn't
Rhode.
But Justin was...daring. Exciting. More beautiful than I could
dream.
I never expected to be sixteen again...then again, I never expected
my past to come back and haunt me...
