To celebrate my birthday and the six-month anniversary of Mine being on the shelves, I’ve put together a curated collection of South African YA books.

Introducing the Ultimate SA YA Book Box, a celebration of local youth fiction, with all proceeds going to charity.

Some Twitter friends who have supported the cause have already shared the contents online.

So what’s inside?

• A generous selection of recently published South African YA books from NB Publishers and Cover2Cover books (including signed copies of Mine and Fuse)
• Treats to enjoy while you read from brands like Nomu
• Some of my absolute favourite things, including LEGO, a book bag, and stickers!

Only ten boxes are available so order yours now to avoid disappointment. The price is R400 including postage or delivery if you’re in Cape Town.

The proceeds of the boxes will go to Nazareth House, a home of compassion run by the sisters of Nazareth. The sisters provide both short and long-term care to disabled orphans, orphans affected by Aids and vulnerable children. Incredibly, the sisters also care for the elderly and frail.

Order yours now.

All unsold boxes will be donated to the kids at Nazareth House.
