    This is an excellent blend of adventure, coming of age, African life, and an insightful look at what makes us different and how we are all the same. I loved this book.

    This book was not my favorite that I have read so far, but I enjoyed the captivating story of a girl on her own in the African jungle and what she must do to survive.
