Bron, an enslaved young Saxon, does the hard work that his master,
the village blacksmith, would rather avoid. His reward is a lack of
food and cruel jeers from other, non enslaved children in the
village. But, unbeknown to all, war is brewing. And when a famous
Saxon warlord arrives at his village Bron gets a chance to prove
that honour and bravery are not only for those who are already
free... A tale of friendship and the desire to belong, this
adventure resonates with all children and immerses readers in the
Anglo-Saxon era, with plenty of detail about the myths and culture
of that time. This new edition contains a helpful guide on how to
pronounce the Anglo-Saxon names in the book. Freedom for Bron has
been shortlisted for the 2017 James Reckitt Hull Children s Book
Award for KS2. Accompanying KS2 activity sheets can be downloaded

Tomas kan nie sy lewe voorstel sonder sy draak Flikker nie.
Flikker is meer as net ’n troeteldier – hy’s die beste maat wat Tomas al ooit gehad het! Maar hy het sy oupa belowe dat hy en sy vriende hulle drake sal vrylaat, en dis beslis nie ’n maklike ding om te doen nie.
Veral nie wanneer Tomas en sy vriende soveel pret het saam met hulle drake Flikker, Son, Vrieska en Sluiper nie, nie as hulle nog moet uitwerk waar die drake vandaan kom en hoe om hulle weer terug by hulle huis te kry nie, en nie as Tomas op die nippertjie is om die storie agter die geheimsinnige draakvrugboom uit te pluis nie!

en net die volgende dag wil hy regte gaan studeer. Toe die sirkus
egter ’n draai in Leliesvlei maak, besef Jasper dat hy eintlik ’n
akrobaat wil word. Maar sal sy ouers sy besluit ondersteun? Kom
