Summaries

The young daughter of a park ranger in Kenya is distressed to learn that she and her father must permanently return to England, thus separating her from the one thing she loves most, a pet bushbaby. Fearing what the future holds, she decides to set the pet free but, while doing so, misses the boat back to England. After meeting up with a friendly native, they try to resolve the situation together. Things take a turn for the worse when it is falsely reported that the native has kidnapped her, thus putting a price on his head.—Kevin Steinhauer <K.Steinhauer@BoM.GOV.AU>
