What would you do if a load of rubbish suddenly started talking to you? Or if you realised one day that your pet mouse was smarter than the headmaster of your school?

Pete Smith does not believe in magic or fairies, but you tend to re-evaluate your beliefs when someone is murdered and you suddenly have to rely on talking mice and garbage heaps that fly around in revved up dustbins to save you from hordes of boy-eating rats. A must for those who crave magic and adventure with a touch of the bizarre.

Kootjie Totjie (Afrikaans)

Kootjie Totjie is een van Langenhoven se gesogte kinderverhale en bekoor vandag nog kinders – en grootmense. Kootjie Totjie is ’n wit varkie wat heerlik op die plaas woon – totdat Gert Wolf die dag besluit dis vreeslik onregverdig dat net boere varkies vir die slag mag aanhou en hy Kootjie summier ontvoer.

Die jonge Kootjie verlang vreeslik na sy ma daar in sy gevangenskap in die bos, maar ’n ma-duif ontferm haar oor die ou varkie en sy kom met ’n plan vorendag om Kootjie van die slagtersmes te red – en wat ’n meesterlike plan is dit nie!

Die humor en lewendige beskrywings spreek van Langenhoven-stories se eiesoortige bekoring.
