Lost in Liberia Is a story of twins, Joanne and Rob, who become separated from their parents in a war-torn African territory. The children face a series of adventures which challenge their courage, but help arrives in the form of a Liberian girl of similar age who joins them in their efforts to find their parents. Tension mounts as they realise they are being pursued by a scar-faced soldier apparently intent on capturing them. However, there is a surprising twist to the story at the end when their supposed enemy reveals himself to be not who they thought he was.
