Justice of the Wild
In the twilight during a heavy storm, six hungry lions escape from the Lion Park near Johannesburg. They are now roaming free in suburbia. Tiny Terblanche and Brett van Jaarsveld, two cruel poachers watching the news, spring into action.
They lure the predators to a grassy field opposite the Park where they dart and capture four of the lions, one male and three females. They load the drugged animals into an enclosed van, to transport to their remote farm in Botswana for their clients.
Canned hunting is big business and lions are first prize.
Paul Patterson and his school friend Rampha Singh happen to witness the lion capture. A few days later, they notice the same enclosed van at a fast food outlet and decide to follow it on their motorcycle. Tiny, driving the van, spots his followers, ambushes, kidnaps and abducts them to Botswana where he ties and locks them up. His two American clients are also there to hunt their promised trophy lion.
That night, the boys break free and run off into the dense African bush. Tiny discovers their escape and enraged he sets after them in his jeep. He must get rid of them before they ruin his plans.
In the bush meantime the boys face their worst nightmares as they strive for freedom. A rogue lion also picks up their scent and is on their trail.
Both boys have love interests with girlfriends Debbie and Ayesha who notice their disappearance. The girls are worried about them and they initiate a frantic search with the Park officials, the police and their parents. Will they find them? Will they be in time? Will they succeed?
The daunting family divorce issues Paul has to deal with, pales into insignificance when he and Rampha have to face their fears and figure out how to escape from their nightmare.
This nail biting drama reveals the scourge of wild life poaching!
I am the cat who walks by himself and all places are alike to me' Here are the delightful stories which Kipling first told his own children before setting them down on paper. How the Camel got his Hump, How the Leopard got his spots, How the Elephant got his Trunk, The Butterfly that Stamped, and many others. They remain popular, entertaining every generation, partly because of the story and partly because of the vivid way they are written. To hear them - unabridged as they are here - is to enjoy them in their original form.
Emily Bell has it all-or so she thinks. She's in love with a boy named Sam, and this summer is destined to be the best they've ever known. No one suspects that Sam's violent father, who blames the Bell family for his incarceration, is planning a jailbreak. Meanwhile, Sam and Emily's idyllic romance is under fire from a charismatic new girl in town, and Emily begins to question the loyalty of the person she thought she could trust most. But when true danger comes knocking, her only hope for survival may be from the most unexpected place.

The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peters and Judy had at home. But they were bored and restless and, looking for something interesting to do, thought they'd give Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives. Since its original publication, Jumanji has been honored with many awards, including the Caldecott Medal and a National Book Award nomination, and, in 1996, the surreal story was adapted for the big screen, followed by a 2017 sequel.
The adventures of Julie's wolves continue as a new wolf leader takes over the pack. The black alpha Kapu, whom Julie once nursed back to health, is a natural leader. Kapu is strong and wise, but if his pack is to survive, he must lead it through many dangers: near starvation, rabies, rival wolves, and worst of all, humans. The wolves share a strong sense of community, including a deep love of pups, and an understanding of the ancient ways necessary to their survival. Year in and year out, the pack adapts to the changes in their arctic tundra home. Changes come into Julie's life too, as she makes plans to marry and become a naturalist. This Newbery Award-winning series which began with Julie of the Wolves and continued with Julie is based on extensive research and firsthand observation. Jean Craighead George presents the wolf's life with such insight and detail, and narrator Christina Moore so skillfully evokes the book's characters and moods, you will feel as if you, like Julie, have lived among these magnificent creatures.
