A rousing new Akimbo adventure from bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith

Akimbo has handled lions and elephants in his home in the plains of southern Africa, but his newest adventure pits him against even deadlier beasts-crocodiles! When a visiting crocodile expert invites Akimbo along on a field study, Akimbo doesn't realize the danger awaiting them. After a crocodile attacks the guide, will Akimbo be able to cross a crocodile-infested river and jump-start a truck in order to get help?
