Harwarrus Horribalus Heldehelm die Derde was 'n swaardvegter,
draak¬fluisteraar en die grootste Wiking-held wat nog ooit gelewe
het. Die draakrebellie het begin. Harwarrus is stoksielalleen en in
ballingskap. Mense sowel as drake maak jag op hom - sy enigste hoop
is dat hy die draakjuweel sal opspoor. Maar waar moet hy begin
soek?
Die Jasper-jeugreeks is die eerste keer uitgegee in 1959 en daar
was verskeie herdrukke. Hierdie is die tiende titel in die
Jasper-reeks. Vir enige kind sal dit ure se genot verskaf, want dit
is 'n boek om te lees en te herlees. Saam met die Viermanskap is
die leser bly oor die sukses wat behaal word en saam met die
vriende word daar getreur oor die brandende sitvlakke! Saam met ‘n
groep kinders van Leliesvlei se hoerskool, en onder toesig van
meneer Basson, gaan Jasper die Wildtuin besoek. Maar op pad
daarheen - en nogal op ‘n steil bergpas en in gietende reen van ‘n
Laeveldse donderstorm - raak die bus waarmee hulle reis onklaar. En
lank nadat die donderstorm bedaar het, staan die logge ou rooi
gevaarte nog al die tyd langs die pad, te steeks om ‘n wiel te
verroer. Intussen begin dit reeds donker word en meneer Basson word
onrustig. Nou nie heeltemal met meneer Basson se toestemming nie,
besluit Jasper en sy drie maats dat hulle die wereld moet gaan
verken en kyk of hulle nie hulp kan kry nie. En ja werklik, voordat
hulle baie ver gevorder het, hoor hulle die gedreun van ‘n
vragmotor, wat hulle na ‘n afgesonderde plaashuis lei. Omhul deur
die waas van geheimsinnigheid, le die huis tussen die bosse, sonder
‘n lig of enige ander teken van lewe, behalwe die vragmotor wat
daar staan. Jasper se kort hare gaan staan nog regopper as
gewoonlik, maar hy besluit om deur te druk met sy ondersoek. Hy is
immers die leier van die Viermanskap. Maar hy moes liewer net daar
omgedraai en teruggestap het skoolbus toe. Dit sou beter gewees het
vir almal … Kom deel in die avonture van Jasper!
