Much older he is lost in the bushveld and has to fend for himself. Man comes, destructive and nature and looking to profit... Rocky and his friends, Igola a Serval Cat, Njovu a young Elephant and other denizens of the bush strive to stop a deadly band of poachers. In their efforts to end the slaughter they have to unite the diverse wildlife. For Rocky and his friends it becomes a deadly fight for survival...The 'Rocky Books' is a series of wonderful books which will bring pleasure to children and adults everywhere. Rocky is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier who really exists – and the books are a glorious fantasy of adventures set mostly in Africa – South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and beyond, where Rocky, a tough little dog, gets into and out of scrapes. In the books Rocky makes friends and enemies of many colourful characters – lions, elephants, hyenas, snakes, bushmen, poachers, politicians and even Hollywood starlets. As the series evolves we see Rocky going as far afield as New York and Alaska.Rocky in the Wilderness is the first book in a series (see more at www.rockybooks.co.za).In this world climate of disaster, every child on the planet needs to be aware of their effect on the environment and the disaster they will soon be facing.
