The Gold Kloof

The race is won, the cheers are still ringing—and Guy Hardcastle is already diving into the Severn after a drowning girl. Can a schoolboy’s courage carry him through what comes next?

On a hot July day in Tewkesbury, England, seventeen-year-old Guy is captain of his school’s rowing crew, a favourite among his schoolfellows, and quick to act when danger strikes. But a letter from his Uncle Charles in South Africa soon unsettles the life Guy knows and calls him toward a new one, far from school races and familiar banks. There, on a farm in a vast and unfamiliar country, his confidence will be tested by challenges no race could prepare him for. What awaits Guy beyond the sea?
