Charming animals and devious villains will enchant young listeners in the second novel from the acclaimed author of The Elephant Thief.
Danny works at Belle Vue Zoo, where—alongside training the famous elephant Maharajah—he helps out with the day-to-day tasks of caring for the animals. But when animals start escaping, Danny is the prime suspect: after all, he was a former street urchin and pickpocket. When a man turns up claiming to be his father, the plot thickens. Can Danny untangle the mystery of the animal escapade—and find out where he really belongs—in order to clear his name?
