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.
