Akimbo is excited to have his cousin, Kosi, visit him on the game reserve where he lives. And when a visiting scientist invites the boys to join her when she studies a pack of baboons, they can't wait to assist her in the bush. The baboon pack they find are fun to observe, but when a black leopard threatens the pack--and the scientist--Akimbo and Kosi are reminded that danger is ever present in the African bush. Alexander McCall Smith takes young readers on a vicarious safari to his beloved Africa in this perfect first chapter book, beautifully brought to life with illustrations by LeUyen Pham.
