Sahari is a normal worker ant in a Weaver colony in the Weaver kingdom. All four kingdoms, the Weavers, the Leafcutters, the Army ants, and the Slavemakers lived in harmony, with one queen ruling over each tribe, and one Queen Major ruling over all the tribes. But one horrible day, the Queen Major is murdered. Sahari, and her best friend, Mira, both get swept away by a flash flood. They are deposited in the Leafcutter kingdom, where two Leafcutter ants, Zalim and Frank, find them. Zalim is instantly in love with Sahari, even if she doesn’t know it yet. With the continent on the brink of total chaos, Sahari wonders who will save the Continent from an unknown danger, the Infinity Egg, which has taken over the minds of all the Slavemaker ants, and is forcing them to take over the continent. Little does she know, that she will be the one to save the Continent.

This book is a celebration of the wildlife and landscapes of Britain's most vital wildlife habitats--those that make up our coastline. Sheer limestone crags resound with the voices of thousands of bickering seabirds; endless acres of estuarine mud are packed with squirming invertebrates that sustain thousands of wading birds. In between are the dazzling chalk outcrops of the south coast with glorious floral communities on the clifftop meadows, shingle beaches where terns and plovers hide their eggs among the stones, and dune systems bound together with marram grass and supporting a unique and fragile ecosystem. Rocky shores harbor microcosms of marine life when the retreating tide leaves rockpools exposed for our exploration, and even the rowdiest seaside towns have their own special wildlife alongside the wild nightlife. Grand-scale color photos bring the wild coast and its inhabitants to life, while the text tells you what you'll see and where, from Land's End to John O'Groats via the scenic route. Beautifully illustrated with color photographs and authoritative text, this book is a celebration of the wilder aspects of the UK's coasts.
