☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeNyoka helps guide visitors through the jungle, but becomes caught up in a scheme involving a ceremonial banao mask from the Banao tribe. When Queen Eloba demands the mask, Nyoka must navigate between the Queen's insistence and protecting the tribe's sacred artifact. Meanwhile, a white hunter named Warren has been hired to lead a safari party into the region, and his presence complicates matters as the story involves tribal conflicts and competing interests over the valuable mask.
When a rogue elephant endangers their camp, Nyoka guides Doctor Lane—a legitimate researcher—to hunt the dangerous beast for the university's medical studies. But the ivory smuggler Dormann and his gang intercept them, seizing both the tusks and their prisoners, forcing Nyoka to bide her time in the pirate's stockade for a chance to turn the jungle itself against her captor. A tense tale of poaching, principles, and the wild's own justice, written and illustrated with the energy that made the Jungle Girl's world so unforgettable.
Nyoka ventures into the forbidden Bantu territory of East Africa to search for Mr. Henry Farr, an explorer-scientist who disappeared a year ago while hunting for a legendary white, red-haired race. When she finally locates him hiding in a hidden ancient city, she discovers he's been stranded for months—but their discovery of this lost civilization comes with a dangerous price, as the local people will stop at nothing to keep them from leaving. Together, Nyoka and Mr. Farr must fight their way to freedom before they become permanent prisoners of the past.
Nyoka finds herself caught between Queen Eloba of the Banao tribe and a pair of obnoxious wealthy visitors who inadvertently insult the queen's honor, setting the jungle drums of war in motion. With the Banao warriors demanding vengeance, Nyoka must navigate crocodile-infested waters and clever negotiations to restore the queen's dignity and prevent bloodshed. A story that proves sometimes the best gift isn't something you find in a shop—it's peace brokered through wit and understanding.
In the wilds of Arnhem Land, Nyoka encounters the Australian Bushmen—a fiercely independent Aboriginal people who have resisted civilization and developed ingenious ways to survive one of Earth's most unforgiving jungles. From their silent sign language that guards against ambush to their ingenious grass huts that shield them from swarms of mosquitoes, these resourceful natives navigate their harsh environment with skills honed over generations. Nyoka discovers the remarkable culture and survival techniques of a people determined to preserve their way of life.
Nyoka the Jungle Girl veteran guide Mack Warren accepts a seemingly straightforward job escorting a hunter named Ellers into the remote snow leopard country of upper Kenya, only to discover his employer has far more sinister intentions than sport hunting. When Ellers reveals his true plan to plunder sacred Enchi tribal gold, Warren finds himself caught between thieves and warriors in a race through treacherous rapids. An action-packed tale of African adventure where a guide's honor and wits are tested against greed and tribal wrath.
