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.

"Will appeal to fans of other STEM-infused series like Emily
Calandrelli's 'Ada Lace' and Asia Citro's 'Zoey and
Sassafras.'"--School Library Journal The fourth installment of the
Kate the Chemist fiction series that shows kids that everyone can
be a scientist! Perfect for fans of the Girls Who Code series. When
Kate's brother Liam is having a science-themed birthday party the
very same day that the science club in Kate's school is planning a
special rocket launch experiment, Kate isn't sure how she'll manage
to do it all: be a great big sister AND a great science club
member. But with a little help from chemistry--and her
friends--Kate figures out a way to be in two places at once. That
is, until she is late to pick up the ice cream cake, which means
Liam won't have a birthday cake for his party! Will science be able
to save the day? From Kate the Chemist, chemistry professor and
science entertainer as seen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,
The Wendy Williams Show, and The Today Show, comes a clever and fun
middle grade series that is the perfect introduction to STEM for
young readers! Make Your Own Rocket! Experiment Inside! Praise for
Dragons vs. Unicorns: "Proves that science and fun go together like
molecules in a polymer."--School Library Journal "It's a great
introduction to the basics of Chemistry that is readily accessible
to a variety of ages . . . . The way the everyday chemistry is
blended in is done seamlessly, and has [me and my ten-year-old son]
noticing how we are all doing a little bit of science every day."
