The following three years were awash with wildlife highlights; sharing a beach with 75,000 nesting olive ridley turtles, having a baby mountain gorilla take him by the hand and having a red-eyed tree frog leap into his face. It also shows how dangerous the animals are and where is lives, What it eats and tells you if the animal is threatened. Soon he was carrying business cards from National Geographic which described him as their ‘Adventurer in Residence’.

This book was recommended to me by a nine year old boy who professes to hate reading - so for me it is already a winner! But something happens to make Saker change sides and now he’s on the run from his predatory brothers.
