"The Grabens" are a series of books set in the Mountains of the Moon in Uganda, Africa. Four young animals, a hippo, a baboon, a wart hog, and a lammergeyer, journey toward these mountains seeking adventure. Along the way, they discover a series of grabens, or deep, sheer-walled valleys. This first book takes place where some prehistoric mammals have been trapped for sixty million years.

Dilo and the Isle of the Gods is the latest in the series of books by Horace Dobbs about a mischievous and adventurous dolphin. Dilo sets out for a meeting with a turtle at a beautiful but dangerous island. Powerful gods live there causing volcanoes to erupt. Dilo is accompanied by an unwanted pasenger - a remora or suckerfish, that attaches itself to Dilo and travels with him wherever he goes. On the way to the island they meet many creatures including a humpback whale, sealions and an incredible whale shark. After the turtle lays her eggs on the Isle of the Gods she gets into mortal danger. Can Dilo save her? An accomplished diver and photographer and founder of International Dolphin Watch, Horace Dobbs describes the ocean and its inhabitants accurately and with humour, making his books both highly entertaining and effortlessly educational. All the Dilo books can be enjoyed in their own right or as part of a series.
