My review

Sun, 13 Jun 2021 | Review by: Diane L.

What grips the reader is the excellent flow of the storyline. There are so many adventures going on that it could easily be enough for an entire TV series which I believe this book is destined for . The characters are so life-like that I became quite emotional at the thought of losing any one of them. A book for all ages and inspirational to young and old alike. Explore Africa and its beauty whilst we still can is a feeling I came away with.
