Jannus en Kriek op die maan is the first book in 'Die Dingesfabriek' series of books.

Jannus and Kriek are twins and about 8 years old. They live with their parents, Knersius and Soetlief Knoets, in Huis Deurmekruis, below exit 7 of the big freeway into the city. Apart from Jannus and Kriek, the most important character in the book is their eccentric Granpa, which they get to know a little better in this first story. He lives in a basement laboratory under Huis Deurmekruis, where he does experiments and works on new inventions. 

But his brain is so busy thinking up new things, or perhaps it is just because he is getting on in years, but he calls all complicated things “dinges”. In this book he takes Jannus and Kriek to the moon and back, before their mum has even realised they’re gone!

This is the second book in the 'Die Dingesfabriek' series by Elizabeth Wasserman. Published by NB Publishers, a division of Media 24 Boeke (PTY) Ltd.

Jannus and Kriek are twins and they are eight years old. They live with their parents, Knersius and Soetlief Knoets, in Huis Deurmekruis below Exit 7 of the big freeway into the city. 

Their eccentric Granpa, who lives in a basement laboratory under Huis Deurmekruis, took them to the moon in the first book, Jannus en Kriek op die maan. Now they are taken deep down into the Southern Atlantic Ocean, where Grandpa goes to study a mysterious oversized egg. 

This part of the ocean is a scary, dark place where yeti crabs and strange fluorescent fish lurk. And there’s more danger in store: they soon realise the egg’s shell has started to crack . . . This can only mean one thing: whatever’s inside is ready to hatch, and its parents will surely come looking for it!
