was verskeie herdrukke. Hierdie is die sesde titel. Vir enige kind
sal dit ure se genot verskaf, want dit is 'n boek om te lees en te
herlees. Saam met die Viermanskap is die leser bly oor die sukses
wat behaal word en saam met die vriende word daar getreur oor die
brandende sitvlakke! Leliesvlei se atletiekbyeenkoms le om die
draai en net die heel beste atlete sal kwalifiseer om later in
Kaapstad te gaan deelneem. Dit was nog altyd Jasper se groot droom
om Tafelberg te sien en in die groot, onrustige branders van die
see te swem! Hy begin dadelik pligsgetrou oefen, maar besef gou dat
hy spykerskoene benodig as hy ’n ware 100 meter-naelloper wil wees.
Hoe op aarde sal hy dit kan bekostig? En sal sy harde oefening
vrugte afwerp? Kom deel in die avonture van Jasper!
Ná ’n maand in Rietvallei Hoër is Daniël du Randt ’n Rietrot tot in sy kleintoontjienael se voorste punt. Peet Pretorius het egter steeds nie die boodskap gekry dat ontgroening, oftewel oriëntering, nie meer plaasvind nie en Daniël-hulle moet mooi loop om uit sy kloue te bly.
Dat hulle boonop die kwaai juffrou Faure, wat saam met haar man ’n spioen in een of ander oorlog was, se papegaai moet oppas, maak die lewe nie juis makliker nie.
Tussendeur oefen die seuns kliphard vir die groot atletiekbyeenkoms in Johannesburg. Dié uitstappie ontaard egter in iets wat Daniël nie in sy heel wildste verbeelding sou kon voorstel nie.
Hoërskool is nie vir sissies nie!
