om Tafelberg te sien en in die groot, onrustige branders van die
see te swem! Hy begin dadelik pligsgetrou oefen, maar besef gou dat

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!

white, the other as Black - and the ways they are forced to navigate a
world that doesn't treat them equally.
Donte wishes he were invisible. As one of the few black boys at his
school, he feels as if he is constantly swimming in whiteness. Most of
the students don't look like him. They don't like him either. Dubbed
the 'Black Brother', Donte's teachers and classmates make it clear they
wish he were more like his lighter skinned brother, Trey.
When an incident with a white student leads to Donte's arrest and
suspension, he's sure the only way to get even is to beat the student
at the school's most valued game: fencing.
With the help of a former Olympic fencer, Donte embarks on a journey to
carve out a spot on the school's fencing team and to find a way to make
people at school see past the colour of his skin to who he really is.
From NYT bestselling author Jewell Parker Rhodes, another poignant and
gripping story about how children and families face the complexities of
