Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener, maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.

Laugh your head off in this second adventure in the bestselling, highly acclaimed Grimwood series. Your favourite fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy are back with an all-new wildly funny story that will have children (and their grown-ups) begging for more. Perfect for readers age 7+, and fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Loki, Bunny vs Monkey and anyone who likes to laugh. Ted and Nancy love their new life in Grimwood - the forest where anything can happen. But the dastardly mayor of neighbouring town Twinklenuts is on a mission to take over Grimwood and kick everyone out. Ted and Nancy must muster up bags of courage, rally their friends, and show off their treebonking skills to save the home they've grown to love. Fully illustrated throughout and full of heart, laughs and surprises, this is the must-read second title in the bestselling and fantastically funny Grimwood series. Nadia Shireen has won awards for her picture books including the UKLA Book Award for Good Little Wolf and most recently for Barbara Throws a Wobbler, which has been described as a 'little doorway of joy' by Caitlin Moran. She's also been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and has been Writer-Illustrator in Residence for BookTrust. Grimwood is her first series for older readers.

Iwan is die jongste en ook die luiste van drie seuns. Op ’n dag stuur sy pa hom om takke in die woud te gaan afbreek en daar kom hy ’n blinde man teë. Dié man sê vir hom dat hy eendag die tsaar van Rusland sal word. Al wat hy moet doen, is om op die bakoond in die huis te lê, net sonneblompitte te eet, en met niemand te praat nie … vir sewe jaar lank!

Die jare gaan verby en uiteindelik begin sy groot reis na die Witteberge, ’n reis vol avontuur en gevare. Hy kom teen die bose Og te staan, kruis paaie met die rower Batur en reken met ’n heks af. So trek hy deur seisoene en landskappe, en telkens moet hy ’n nuwe struikelblok op pad oorkom.

Maar Wanja glo vas in die voorspelling van die blinde man en hou voet by stuk. Sou die ou man die waarheid gepraat het?
