AFRICAN ADVENTURE: While on safari in African big-game country, Hal and Roger Hunt are sent to help a village attacked by a vicious man-eating leopard. After their father is injured, the boys are left alone to track down the monster. The arrogant and clumsy Colonel Bigg is the least of their worries when they realise they have a traitor in their midst who is out to kill them, the village chief may die, and a merciless band of killers known as the Leopard Society is hunting the boys down. ELEPHANT ADVENTURE: Hal and Roger Hunt are in the Mountains of the Moon searching for elephants. The boys are with the Watussi tribe, the tallest people on earth, famous for their enchanting dancing. It’s not just the people that are over-sized – this part of Africa is full of natural giants: massive trees, hummingbirds the size of pigeons and forty feet tall heather. When the Watussi chief’s son is kidnapped and a baby elephant stolen, attention turns to the blackbirders, a group of slave traders from the Middle East. After a rare and beautiful white elephant crosses the boys’ path, the blackbirders decide it’s time to remove the boys from the equation...
