Book 4: The Baboons (Paperback)

One small cat. One very noisy troop. A battle that has raged for generations.

Book 4: The Baboons

Casper's incredible journey through the African bush continues, and this time things get louder, messier and a whole lot more baboonish.

She has barely woken up (in a tree, again!) when she's flung headfirst into the chaos of a noisy troop, two wild twins and a whole heap of monkey business. But when a baby baboon goes missing, and is found cradling a leopard cub, everything changes. The birds go quiet. The grass stands still. Old enemies gather, ready to fight.

Who can stop a battle that's been raging for generations? Who would even try?

Casper is just one small cat. But with a little courage and a lot of heart, she learns that even the smallest step can start something big.
