Cheslin roared with happiness as the final whistle blew in Yokohama. They were champions! Later, as his captain lifted the 2019 Rugby World Cup trophy into the air, he felt prouder than he'd ever been before - of himself, his team and his country.
Cheslin Kolbe tells the story of a kid from Kraaifontein, Cape Town, whose talent took him to international sports stardom, first to Toulouse, France, and eventually to the call-up that would change his life forever: to play for the Springbok 2019 World Cup squad. It's the heartwarming story of a small player with a big heart whose signature sidestep helped the Springboks win the World Cup trophy for South Africa.
Cheslin Kolbe is part of the "Road to Glory" series, which covers some of South Africa's sporting legends as they set out on their journeys to becoming national and international stars.
Vanaf die vroegste tye verken mense al die aardbol op soek na nuwe
plekke om te bewoon, verleidelike skatte, asemrowende vergesigte of
die roemryke voorreg om die eerste mens op ’n hoe bergpiek te wees.
Hierdie boek vertel die verhale van onverskrokke
ontdekkingsreisigers wat dit tot by die ysige pole gewaag het,
bloedig warm woestyne oorgesteek het, riviere vol krokodille
trotseer of vir die eerste keer reg rondom die aarde geseil het.
Sneaky pirates, sailing ships, buried treasure, exotic lands, and
murderous mutiny--what could be better to win over even the most
reluctant reader? Robert Louis Stevenson serves up thrills, chills,
and plenty of action in this timeless and beloved adventure novel.
This must-have collector's edition features N. C. Wyeth full-color
illustrations, a cloth case, foil stamping, deluxe endpapers,
bookplate, and a ribbon marker.
For this striking, stripped-down account of youth immigration,
Villalobos interviewed teens at various stages of the immigration
process to illustrate their stories - the physical and emotional
difficulties of their travels. He then changed certain elements of
these stories in order to protect the children's identities. Each
chapter brings forth the voice of one young immigrant's experience,
from crossing the Mexican desert to gang violence to the 'freezers'
at ICE detention centres. Together, these teen voices paint a vivid
and thought-provoking picture of US-Central American immigration
and the American refugee crisis, which will resonate with young
readers, educators, and fans of his adult fiction alike.
