Sparrow Spencer is an adventurous boy. He lives in a South African country town called Tortoisetown. Sparrow and his bicycle-friend, Jumbo make a real difference to the lives of many townsfolk and those on the surrounding farms. The pair deliver groceries from Uncle Jacob's little supermarket in town. In this story a countrywide fuel shortage results in a crisis that allows Sparrow and Jumbo to flourish. After all, a bike does not need petrol or diesel. Read this story to find out how Sparrow and Jumbo became the heroes of Tortoisetown. Thirty-four pages of text and full-colour illustrations tell the story of this modern day South African hero. The book is ideal for readers who are eight to nine years old. This book is also available in Afrikaans (a native language from South Africa) - Mossie en Jumbo - Die Helde van Skilpadfontein. Also available on Amazon.com
