Kobie Regeer

Maasdorp #3

by Stella Blakemore

In Die jongste meisie in Maasdorpskool het Breggie Landsberg en Heloise Malan boesemvriendinne geword. Nou, in Kobie Regeer, laat Heloise ‘per ongeluk’ haar swak skoolrapport by die treinvenster uitval – weer een van Breggie se skitterende ‘plannetjies’. Die skelmstreek word egter ontdek en die streng mevrou Malan dreig om Ruth, haar ouer dogter, van Maasdorp weg te neem omdat sy nie vir Kobie en Heloise uit die moeilikheid kan hou nie. Kobie neem die dreigement ter harte en besluit dat sy die een sal wees om haar susters onder hande te neem. Sy sal sorg dat Heloise in haar spoor trap en dat Ruth “iets doen sodat hulle ma haar vir niks op aarde van Maasdorp sal wegneem nie – al sou Heloise en Breggie ook die skool afbrand!” Maar nie eens Kobie kan Breggie en Heloise se ondeundheid keer nie!

[AGilden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was absolutely addicted to the Maasdorp books as an 8-11-year-old kid. My school librarian teased me because I worked through the whole series three times every year. I just found the first four books in the series and read them again, and while I certainly don't enjoy them as much now as I did then,
I'll rate it as my 10-year-old self would have rated it. As a 40-year-old woman, I would probably now give it three or four stars. Sadly, the Kobie character's beauty and perfection now strike me as way, way overdone and many of the girls are as catty as hell. But I'll recommend it to kids any day and I know they'll obtain as much pleasure from it as I once did.

Kobie Regeer wys 'n lieflike nuwe sy aan Kobie - 'n volwasse, verstandige meisie wat bereid is om die nodige te doen. Dis bietjie sleg dat Heloise so onder Breggie se duim bly en heeltyd doen wat sy voorse, maar andersins is die boek heerlik.
