Get ready for the race of your life... This is what it feels like when I'm running. When I'm running fast, I feel free. 12-year-old Lili is determined to defeat her arch rival in front of the Queen during her school's anniversary celebrations. Adopted from China as a baby, Lili also has personal challenges to overcome, but when her training is thrown into chaos by events outside her control, she realises that she must choose between family and the race of her life. Meanwhile in 1944, Eric Liddell, hero of the 1924 Olympics, finds himself in a war zone. Separated from his family, he is getting ready to run his final race in a prison camp in China when his lifelong principles are challenged by the imprisoned children he is trying to help... Praise for The Race 'Not your typical happily ever after, Roy has written a wonderfully relatable and inclusive tale, where all are welcome, and the beauty of sport brings everyone together in the end. There are life lessons to be learned in this inspiring story with friendship at its heart.' SHAUNAGH BROWN International Rugby Player and Former Commonwealth Games Athlete

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!
