      About This Book

      Imagine living in the heart of Africa, where the sun rises each morning over blue mountains, and great plains stretch as far as the eye can see. Imagine living in a place where wild animals still roam freely -- elephants, lions, crocodiles. Akimbo lives in such a place. But Africa can be as dangerous as a it is beautiful…

      Ivory poachers are killing grown elephants for their tusks and leaving the calves behind to die. The authorities cannot catch them, and even Akimbo's father, who is the head ranger on the game preserve, is powerless to stop them. But Akimbo devises a plan to save the elephants: he will pose as a hunter himself.
