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."

Anwen sedge, a young meadow witch apprentice, lives in a rural village that hasn’t seen giants since the Great Beanstalk War. So it’s quite a surprise when one drops from the sky and squishes the village flat. It’s an even bigger surprise when Anwen discovers that he was dead before he hit the ground. This is a murder! The only solution is for Anwen and her arch nemesis, Cerys (who’s the best at High Magic and won’t let anyone forget it), to send a plea for help to the giants’ kingdom, using a magic beanstalk. But the beanstalk backfires, shooting the two rivals into the giants’ kingdom before crumbling to dust! There, they make a terrible discovery―the murdered giant was none other than the king. And the giants have no magic of their own to send the girls home. Trapped in the royal palace and surrounded by intrigue, Anwen decides to use her Meadow Witch skills to unmask the killer, despite Cerys’s doubt in her. With the help of a few new friends and her reluctant rival, can Anwen figure out who murdered the king before the killer strikes again?
