Their affections grew. Until the blurry lines became dangerous. Over the course of a single day, the depth of their past, the confusion of their present, and the unpredictability of their future is revealed. And the girls will learn that hearts, like flames, aren’t so easily tamed. It starts with a fire. How will it end?

Om te leer lees is een van die grootste avonture wat op enige kind wag - en Krok en Dil is die perfekte maats om die opwindende reis mee aan te pak! Die nuwe leesreeks uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs stel kinders deur middel van prettige stories aan verskillende klanke bekend. Die reeks het 'n sterk strokiesprent-aanslag, met volop spraakborrels en fantastiese volkleurillustrasies deur Nadia du Plessis, en die twee onwaarskynlike beste maats, 'n knorrige krokodil en 'n lewenslustige komkommertjie, sal dadelik in beginnerlesers se harte kruip. Jaco is self die pa van twee dogtertjies, Mia (9) en Emma (7), wat die afgelope paar jaar leer lees het, en hy se een van die grootste struikelblokke was om toeganklike beginnerleesboeke op te spoor. "My kinders het grootgeword met stories - van die heel lekkerste storieboeke in Afrikaans en Engels wat aan hulle voorgelees is. Dit was daarom vir hulle baie frustrerend as beginnerleesboeke net op die klanke fokus, sonder 'n sterk, vermaaklike storielyn. Dit is waarom ek die Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat vir lesers - en ouers! - 'n prettige storie in elke boek bied, met hope humor."

But then, one day an injured seal washes ashore and warns of dangerous, cloudy waters that are flowing toward the island—and soon the animals are forced inland to fight over dwindling resources. Roz calms and organizes the animals, but the poison tide takes a terrible toll on the island. And when the robot discovers that her new body is waterproof, she marches into the waves and sets out across the ocean, determined to stop the poison tide. During her undersea journey, Roz encounters amazing geological formations and incredible creatures, and she sees the devastation caused by the toxic waters. Creatures she meets along the way direct her to a mysterious character known as the Ancient Shark, who explains that the poison tide is caused by a huge station that floats on the waves; a station operated by humans and by robots. To stop them, the Ancient Shark is prepared to attack with an army of sea creatures. However, Roz hopes to find a peaceful solution, instead. Can the wild robot save the ocean and her island and everything she loves? |
