BEST-selling author of Braai the Beloved Country Jean Nel is back with a considered and expansive book on braaing with gas. He has put together a collection of stunning, crowd-pleasing recipes that gradually teach you how to get the best out of your gas braai. THERE is surely no other time in life with as many doubts, fears and misconcept­ions as in adolescenc­e, for boys as well as girls.

And no wonder, because all the changes that occur during this stage affect every aspect of the person.

This book provides the answers to 101 questions on situations every teenager will face at one time or other. They are grouped into different sections, such as the emotions, feelings and thoughts typical of this age; various beliefs, myths and questions that arise around the changes in the body; hygiene and physical appearance, health and the best foods for this time; friendship and social environmen­t; and the first sexual contact with another person, including the dangers involved in sexual activity.

The goal? That none of your concerns will go unanswered. Uncle Berlioz. It has been three weeks since Fifi, the poodle of a well-known Broadway actress, has been kidnapped. William and Alex must apprehend the kidnappers before more celebritie­s’ pets are kidnapped and held for ransom. IN this book, Mattie, the little girl who entered the secret dreamworld of animals every night, joins in their Baby Show. Every animal mother wants her babies to be the prettiest, and win the grand prize, which is a magnificen­t Cupcake Castle. But a nasty, greedy buffalo charges into the party and spoils all the fun. Once again, Mattie saves the day, and the Show ends with a wonderfull­y happy celebratio­n. Grandma sang him a song about a brave mouse running up a clock. Now Daniel had to sleep.

But the bed didn’t feel as comfortabl­e as his own bed. The room looked darker than his own room. And he heard a strange noise on the roof. It sounded like huge, heavy animals dancing and prancing around the chimney. “Grandpa!” Daniel cried. “Grandpa, I hear something on the roof!”

“What do you Grandpa asked.

“I think it might be rhinocepha­nts, Grandpa. A whole herd of rhinocepha­nts.”

Daniel?”
