Book 1: The Pangolins
Casper only meant to have a nap. Curled up on a warm blanket in a stranger’s car, the little city cat falls asleep—and wakes far from home in the African bush.
Everything is unfamiliar, from the noises in the dark to Junior, a baby pangolin who is certain he is a scaredy-cat. But when Casper discovers poachers nearby and frightened animals trapped in a wooden crate, finding her own way home will have to wait.
Her teeth cannot break the rope. Her claws cannot cut it. Can she help Junior believe in himself before it is too late?
A funny, suspenseful beginning to Casper’s journey, with a tender lesson about helping others find the courage they never knew they had.
