One of the greatest adventures involving a young girl ever told. Fourteen year old Angelina Freyer, born in Africa, growing up on a Kenyan farm, close friend of the Masai and Swahili, knows the bush like the back of her hand. When a charter plane comes down in the African bush hundreds of miles from anywhere, Angelina is the only one among holiday tourists who knows how to stay alive. Especially when she and the other survivors are hunted down by diamond smugglers determined to keep their illegal activities secret. Angelina attempts an impossible hundred-and-fifty-mile, fourteen-day hike to the safety of Victoria Falls.
