"Special Circumstances" - These words have sent chills down Tally's
spine since her days as a rebellious Ugly. Back then Specials were a
sinister rumour - frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong,
breathtakingly fast. Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives
without meeting a Special. But Tally's never been ordinary… Now she's
been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered
to keep the Uglies down and the Pretties stupid.
The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel
better than anything Tally can remember… most of the time. One tiny
corner of her heart still remembers something more. Still, it's easy to
tune that out - until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels
of the New Smoke permanently. It all comes down to one last choice:
carry out the mission she's programmed to complete, or listen to that
tiny, faint heartbeat telling her that something's wrong… Either way,
Tally's world will never be the same.

Darkus kan sy oe nie glo toe hy ’n reuseinsek by sy aaklige nuwe
buurman se broekspyp sien uitval nie. Die dierasie het sewe bene –
of ses bene en ’n horing – en dit lyk of hy wil kommunikeer. Maar
hoe kan ’n seun vriende wees met ’n gogga wat so groot soos ’n
hamster is? En wat presies het hierdie kewer te doen met sy pa se
geheimsinnige verdwyning en die verskyning van die bose Lucretia
Cutter met haar voorsmaak vir lewendige juweliersware? Die antwoord
is dalk iewers tussen die berg muwwe teekoppies in die bure se
woonstel – as Darkus en sy nuwe vriend dapper genoeg is om
ondersoek in te stel … Hierdie is die eerste boek van ’n
kewertrilogie van die jong skrywer M.G. Leonard.
In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US
Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview
convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold
cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship,
gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't
crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active
case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin
to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the
country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage
sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma
becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon
seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives,
he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has
his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None
Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the
monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside
us.
The most exciting new children's book of 2020 and a modern classic in the making. The Beast and the Bethany has all the classic macabre humour of Roald Dahl with the warmth and charm of Despicable Me, finished off with a gleeful bite of Little Shop of Horrors! This book should be on every little monster's birthday and Christmas list.
Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old. He keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion, who he feeds all manner of things (including performing monkeys, his pet cat and the occasional cactus) and in return the beast vomits out presents for Ebenezer, as well as potions which keep him young and beautiful. But the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do. So when Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan . . .
