This resource, for use with Wilbur Smith’s new book Cloudburst, is suitable for ages 9-11, and includes extracts from the text and corresponding discussion questions and activities.

When Jack Courtney’s parents are abducted by mercenaries whilst the family are on a research trip, nobody seems to have any answers.
Jack is pretty sure that it’s got something to do with the nearby tantalum mines, but he needs to prove it.
