A Dive into Karoo Mysteries
Imagine finding yourself in the middle of a seemingly sleepy Karoo town, only to uncover hidden secrets that are far beyond your wildest dreams. That’s exactly what happens to Lizelle in “Samboksalf en ’n draaktraan.” What starts as an ordinary afternoon waiting for the newspaper outside Stina’s Café quickly turns into an adventure she never anticipated.
Synopsis:
Iets vreemd is in Rhynsburg aan die gang. Lizelle het nie avontuur verwag toe sy een middag tydens haar Desembervakansie buite Stina’s Café vir die koerant gewag het met sambaksalf en ’n pakkie sigarette in die hand nie. Niks gebeur dan ooit in hierdie kurkdroeë klein Karoodorpie waar sy nou sit te danke aan haar pa se afdanking en haar ma se gebrek aan selfbeheer nie. Maar sy kom vinnig agter iets is nie pluis nie. Die wit rose in almal se tuine steek iets baie meer onheilspellend weg – iets wat haar een aand aanval! Lizelle het niks behalwe tyd nie, en sy is vasberade om uit te vind wat aangaan. Die koster en sy kerkklokke weet meer as wat hy voorgee, en so ook Wilma – die misterieuse bibliotekaresse wat deur die res van die dorp vermy word. Sy is net glad nie voorbereid vir wat sy vind nie. Drake … in die Karoo.
Lizelle’s journey to uncover the truth behind the white roses and the mysterious attacks will take you on a ride filled with suspense, secrets, and yes, even dragons in the Karoo!
