Two children captured by a band of rebel soldiers in the Congo vow to
protect an orphaned gorilla baby in this powerful, thought-provoking,
and vividly compelling novel from award-winning storyteller Gill
Lewis.
Deep in the heart of the Congo, a baby gorilla is captured by a group of
rebel soldiers. Imara and Bobo are also prisoners in the rebels' camp.
When they learn that the gorilla will be sold into captivity, they swear
to return it to the wild before it's too late. But the consequences of
getting caught are too terrible to think about. Will the bond between
the gorilla and the children give them the courage they need to escape?
