language
(Blue Jacaranda Publishing Ltd Aug. 28, 2012)
When Arabella's father is nominated 'Bank Manager of the Year' by his head office, she never expects the prize to be a visit to South Africa, including a week's safari to see rhinos, elephants, lions and zebras in the wild, and she is absolutely thrilled. Arabella's even more thrilled when Great Aunt Agatha says that she's like to come as well. But the safari is distressingly marred by rhino horn poachers. Not prepared to let those involved get away with such horrible crimes, Arabella and Aunt Agatha investigate and are horrified to find the witchdoctor of a nearby village involved in an evil trade that stretches all the way back to England. Not only that, Arabella soon discovers that her main suspect is not all he appears, and that Aunt Agatha is what her parents always feared she might one day turn out to be.
