When a group of pupils, (scouts to be precise), from a remote village school far from civilization – embark on a camping trip in a city suburb, little do they know that the trip will be life-changing. So after the camping adventure and upon returning to their village, they find the area and its surrounding environs marooned by floods, making roads impassable and life unbearable. It’s then that part of the group, consisting of Jako, Mato, Lama and Zizo plan a rescue mission by constructing a “rope bridge” that they use to successfully rescue the drowning residents of one of the neighboring villages.The four boys become instant heroes in their community and beyond for their outstanding rescue mission. I creatively employ the use of dialogue, description and humor in the story to, hopefully, achieve the desired effect. Indeed there are moments of suspense and charged up dramatic action which makes the story an interesting read for all age brackets.This book is quite dramatic and captivating too. A survival kit for children and adults alike. The story flows easily and takes the reader with it as every scene unfolds. Here's an unforgettable piece of writing that's insightful and entertaining. This story will challenge everyone to at least learn some life-skills that could one day save their life, if not someone else.’Hopefully, by reading this book, your sense of adventure will be rekindled. And you’ll begin to see and experience life differently as you enjoy life’s precious moments, and the challenges and lessons that life throws at you.Have a great read!***marketingmybooks@yahoo.com
