Cat Clarke

    Deze auteur, wiens oorsprong in Zambia en opvoeding in Edinburgh en Yorkshire haar een uitgesproken accent hebben gegeven, creëert nu boeiende YA-romans. Haar eerdere non-fictie boeken verkenden fascinerende onderwerpen zoals cowboys, haaien en piraten, wat wijst op een passie voor avontuurlijke en ongebruikelijke verhalen. Met haar huidige werk duikt ze in de wereld van de adolescentie en verkent ze thema's die resoneren bij jongere lezers. Haar schrijfstijl wordt gekenmerkt door levendige verhalen en het vermogen om de lezer in het verhaal onder te dompelen.

      “Sharp and exciting, always vivacious and sensory . . . All I want is more—more of these sweet vicious girls and their helplessly loving leader, changing themselves, one another and the world.” —Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times Book Review The Craft for Gen Z: The Scratch Daughters, indie bestselling author H. A. Clarke crafts a brilliant, award-nominated sequel to The Scapegracers: a raw and roiling tribute to queer lineage, to finding oneself, and to the deep love of chosen family. Sideways Pike is desperate. It turns out that Madeline Kline didn’t want to make out with her; infinitely worse, she was only flirting to get access to Sideways’ specter. Madeline has ripped the magical soul out of Sideways’ throat, and with it, everything that makes a witch feel whole. Madeline would know: the Chantry boys took hers, and she’s going to use Sideways’ specter to hunt them down and get it back. Sideways Pike, lesbian witch extraordinaire, isn’t going to let little things like a treacherous crush or a brutal family of creepy witch hunters stop her, even if it means tracking down Madeline without the Scapegracers—her best friends, her coven, the girls she’s come to love ferociously above all else. But Sideways and her trusty bike are in for a bumpy ride . . .

    • Datsun built its first car in 1912 but it was not until 1959 that it built its first sports car. The 1500cc S211, the Fairlady, soon gave way to the SP213. The New Fairlady, announced in 1962, was restyled and came with a larger engine. The 1600 came in 1965 and the 2000 ohc in 1967 complete with five-speed overdrive gearbox. The cars were a great success but are little known outside of the specialist circles. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, driver's impressions and buying used. Models covered include: Fairlady, SPL 310, 1600, 2000.
