Jack Maggs is a quirky and lovable 11-year-old with a mischievous streak and a love of adventure. He's a natural troublemaker, but also a gifted storyteller with a knack for finding humor in the most unlikely of places. When Jack's parents announce that they're moving to Africa, Jack is determined to follow them. He packs his bags and hops on a plane, only to find himself lost in a strange and dangerous land. With the help of a kind-hearted monkey, a fearless lion, and a wacky warthog, Jack begins a hilarious adventure that will take him from the Serengeti to the Great Rift Valley and everywhere in between. Jack Maggs is a heartwarming story about following your dreams and the friendships you make along the way.; 8vo; 306 pages; Price? ? ?
