A brave messenger pigeon enlists a group of heroic zoo animals to help
him complete his mission in this thrilling, informative read,
perfect for fans of the Ranger in Time and I Survived series
World War II is raging across Europe and the German army has their
sights set on England. Messenger pigeon Francis carries important notes
back and forth between England and her allies, and wants nothing more
than to do his part for the war effort. But when Francis is injured on
an assignment to deliver the most important message of the war--one
which warns of a coming attack on Britain itself--he finds himself
stranded in the middle of the London Zoo with no way to complete his
mission.
Ming, the world-famous panda, has so far managed to avoid being caught
up in the war. But that's getting harder and harder to do as the zoo
suffers under dwindling food rations and German air raids threaten the
city every night. When Francis lands in Ming's enclosure, she knows she
can no longer stand by and do nothing. Enlisting the help of a kind
zookeeper and a resourceful troop of monkeys, Ming fights to help
Francis recover his strength so that he can carry out his mission.
But when the war finally arrives in London, threatening everyone in the
zoo, Francis, Ming, and the other animals must work together to save
themselves...and maybe even London itself.
