Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of the most famous mountains on
Earth. Hundreds of people clamber to its summit every year,
following in Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's footsteps... but
there is so much more to this mountain than the people who climb
it. With sumptuous and stylish illustrations by Lisk Feng, this
dynamic book reveals the great mountain's ancient origins, the
flora and fauna that thrive upon its great flanks, and the rich
mythology of Sagarmatha, the Goddess of the Sky.
Percy Tau grew up with seven siblings and a single mom in the mining town of Witbank. For Percy and his family, life is tough as their mother struggles to make ends meet. But there is one thing that brings the Tau boys together: soccer. At the Mmagobana Primary School, they quickly make a name for themselves on the soccer team.
Despite the boys’ enthusiasm for the game, Percy’s mom is against him playing soccer. She wants him to get a ‘real job’ – after all, she doesn’t want to see her son struggle in life. But Percy persists, and is invited to join the Sundowns Youth Academy. Here he meets Pitso Mosimane, the Sundowns coach who will teach him all about what it takes to become a professional footballer.
In March 2017 Percy’s life changes forever: he is called up to play for Bafana Bafana and is named as the leading goal-scorer of the season. But just when all is going so well … heartbreak: Percy’s brother is killed in a car crash. Old fears from his childhood come rushing back as his mother blames their misfortune on soccer. But, through it all, the family pull together in their support for one another.
Then, one day, a call comes: Percy is offered a position to play for Brighton – one of the biggest deals ever offered a South African footballer. What will the future hold for one of the brightest stars in South African soccer? Join us on this action-packed adventure in the Road to Glory series.

original The story follows two sisters in a London-inspired city
full of fantastical illness and sprawling, gothic hospitals where
dark secrets linger beneath the surface Praise for THE ASH HOUSE:
'An unexpected - and pleasing - combination of propitious and
disquieting.' KIRKUS REVIEWS 'Walker's immersive story slowly
reveals its secrets, using tension as a lever to tip the reader
deep into the Ash House's mysteries.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'The book
has allegorical chill that settles slowly, like damp seeping in . .
. leaving readers with a feeling of ambiguous unease that may stir
for a long time in the back of their minds like the after-effects
of a nightmare.' THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

own backyard.
