Shola was five when she was found by scientists in the Bakuli
National Park in Africa. Exhausted and half-starved, she had been
kept safe by a family of elephants who had treated her as one of
their young. Shola goes to live with the scientists and their son,
Leo, who is thrilled to have an older sister. But when Leo's
parents are killed in a plane crash, Leo is sent back to live in
England. Returning to Africa some years later, Leo is shocked to
find that Shola hasn't spoken since the tragic accident and that a
growing number of the elephants are being killed for ivory. He and
Shola set off to find 'their' elephants, despite the danger of the
poachers, and along with their favourite elephant Shola also finds
her voice. This is Shola's story, told by Leo, about the idyllic
life they lead in Africa surrounded by wildlife - elephants in
particular - an idyllic life that is cut short by danger and death.
It's a novel of adventure and family ties crossing two cultures -
African and European - and two kingdoms, human and animal. A third
novel from Mary Ellis, that is both lyrical and exciting; thrilling
and moving.
