Wild Boy #7

When a shipwreck deposits a gold staff into the hands of Twagu, the ambitious fisherman uses it to convince his village that he's been chosen by the jungle gods—and seizes Chief Ralem's authority. Wild Boy must expose Twagu's deception and prove that the mysterious sea creature everyone fears answers to a different master entirely.

Wild Boy must uncover who's stealing young gorillas from the jungle and threatening peace between the ape people and the Kamba tribe—his investigation leads him to a shocking conspiracy involving an animal collector with far darker intentions than anyone suspected. With the gorillas ready for war and an innocent tribe under suspicion, Wild Boy devises a clever trap to flush out the real culprit and rescue those held captive. Racing against time through jungle caves and rushing waterfalls, he fights to free the stolen creatures and restore harmony to his jungle home.

This non-fiction feature explores the customs, practices, and traditions of several African peoples, from Zulu medicine men whose knowledge of the mind predates modern psychiatry to the Madubu, Mangbetu, and Wagenias and their distinctive approaches to currency, body modification, and maritime engineering.

Cecil John Rhodes rose from a sickly clergyman's son to one of Africa's most powerful figures, discovering diamonds in South Africa's Kimberley fields and launching an ambitious campaign to expand British rule across the continent.

When two cunning outsiders scheme to follow a sacred elephant to the Yoruba burial grounds and claim its legendary treasure, they frame Wild Boy for the murder of Chief Oriki—forcing him and Keeto to escape captivity and pursue the villains down a forbidden trail. Wild Boy must stop the treasure hunters before they desecrate the sacred resting place of the chiefs, but the jungle itself may have other plans for those who dare walk the Journey of the Dead.
