Written for young adults, this graphic novel tells the story of St. Maximilian Kolbe and his extraordinary life of sacrifice. From his childhood, Maximilian ardently desired to share his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This desire eventually led him across the world, from Poland to Rome and from India to Japan. Like the great saints he admired, including St. Paul Miki and St. Catherine Labouré, Maximilian Kolbe was a true witness to the unfailing love of Mary and to the joy of self-sacrifice, even in the hopeless hunger bunker of Auschwitz. His courage and faith will inspire readers to entrust themselves totally to the will of God in all things.

Cheslin roared with happiness as the final whistle blew in Yokohama. They were champions! Later, as his captain lifted the 2019 Rugby World Cup trophy into the air, he felt prouder than he'd ever been before — of himself, his team and his country.

It's the heartwarming story of a small player with a big heart whose signature sidestep helped the Springboks win the World Cup trophy for South Africa. Cheslin Kolbe is part of the "Road to Glory" series, which covers some of South Africa's sporting legends as they set out on their journeys to becoming national and international stars.
