Tarzan of the Apes (Abridged, Paperback, abridged edition)

Robin Moore presents an abridged retelling of the classic story adapted especially for young readers.

Raised in the African jungle by Kala the ape, Tarzan has never known he is a human being. He does not know his father was an English lord or that his parents came from a far-off country only to face their deaths in the jungle. From the time he was a year old, Tarzan has lived with the apes as one of them. He eats, sleeps, and acts like an animal. He must fight for his life against the jungle's fiercest predators.

But at age ten, Tarzan discovers he is different. And as he grows to adulthood he does something no ape can do -- he teaches himself to read. No longer at home among the apes, Tarzan wonders where he belongs. Then he comes face-to-face with those of his own kind, and his life is never the same again.
