Die nuutste boek deur die bekroonde De Wet Hugo skakel in by relevante temas vir vandag se jeug, veral om liggaamspositiwiteit te bevorder en boeliegedrag aan te spreek.
As ek jy was handel oor twee meisies wat min tot geen ooghare vir mekaar het nie, en hoe hulle eindelik groei uit ‘n interessante leerproses wat lesers sal laat dink aan ‘n paar skreeusnaakse body-swop films en boeke uit die verlede.

On the bookshelve: The World According to Merle: Memoir of a deliciously daring granny
by Merle LevinPublished by NB Publishers
About: The World According to Merle is a wildly humorous and heartwarming memoir by a woman who defies age and convention.
At 75, Merle is a vibrant force of nature who’s lived a full, rich life on her own terms.
Whether she’s learning about the navigational skills of the dung beetle in the Kalahari Desert, swimming with her “Soggy Bottoms” group - come rain, ice or shine - or laughing through passionate arguments with Jeff, her husband of over 50 years, Merle has never been a fan of rules.
Born into a 1950s Jewish family in Vereeniging, she has embraced a life of rebellion and bold choices - from escaping apartheid in the 1970s to starting anew in Canada with little money and even fewer plans. On this rollicking journey through her extraordinary life, we are given profound insights and wisdom gained from living on the edge.
Nuut op die rak: Eendag is te ver
deur Jaco StrydomUitgegee deur NB Uitgewers
Te veel jongmense glo die leuen dat jy eers klaar moet wees met skool en ’n graad moet hê voor jy ’n verskil kan maak. Neem nou deel aan Jesus se rewolusie van hoop.
Dis nou die tyd om al die groot vrae te vra, belangrike geloofsgewoontes aan te leer, die misterie van God se teenwoordigheid op nuwe plekke raak te sien en jou eie roeping te ontdek. Jesus het nie vir kinders gesê word groot nie, Hy het vir grootmense gesê word klein.
Nou is dit jou beurt. Eendag is te ver bied die geleentheid om gesprekke te open met jongmense en selfs vir volwassenes na binne te laat kyk om vrae te vra oor hulle eie geloofsgewoontes.
