Books with author Tony Irvin

Lucy, Kal, Ellie, Matata, and of course Fupi, in helping to move a rare but dangerous antelope from the coast of Tanzania to Simba wildlife ranch, are thrown into further hair-raising adventures by the discovery of an ancient map, messages scratched on cave walls, and hidden ruins in the forest, all of which speak of a terrible bygone culture. But has that time really passed? Why does Matata find the ruins so scary? What happens in the under-water cave of the rock-cod? Who is the mysterious old man who never talks? And is the elephant-shrew quite what it seems?

Lucy, Kal and Ellie, with help from their Maasai friends Matata and Kiki, and support from Mrs Sandford the headmistress of their school in England, plan to set up a school for Maasai children on Simba Ranch. But poachers invade the ranch in search of rhinos and the plan seems doomed to fail. When Mrs Sandford comes to the ranch will she be the dragon the children are used to? And will their combined efforts be sufficient to defeat the poachers, protect the rhinos and save the school?

Witchcraft comes to Simba wildlife ranch in Tanzania and Maasai cattle start dying. Very soon, Lucy, Kal, Ellie, Matata and Fupi the terrier become caught up in this nightmare which threatens even their lives as they face the terrors of raging rivers, evil omens, night-time chanting and devil buffaloes. Will the children be able to discover the source of the witchcraft? Even if they do, will they be able to destroy it, before it destroys the ranch – and them?
