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.

Jenny's never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything
besides her dream of being a professional cellist. But when she
finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether
their love is worth the risk. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in
the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for
fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo. Jenny didn't get to be an
award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing
practice over fun. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo.
Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is
exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. And
yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable
evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his
flight home to South Korea. With Jaewoo an ocean away, there's no
use in dreaming of what could have been. But when Jenny and her
mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who
does she meet at the elite arts academy she's just been accepted
to? Jaewoo. Finding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet
in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn't just any student.
Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in
the world. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden
from dating anyone. When a relationship means not only jeopardizing
her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything
Jaewoo's worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how
much she's willing to risk for love. XOXO is a new romance that
proves chasing your dreams doesn't have to mean sacrificing your
heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh. Indigo Best Teen Books of
