O knihe

THE LONELY SKULL: Book 4 of the Dangerous Adventures Series Have you ever wanted to climb a truly high mountain? Have you wanted to go on a walking safari in Africa? Have you wanted to be close, like real close, to rogue bull elephants or a momma lion and her cubs? The Lonely Skull begins after Max's Great Aunt asks 15 year-old Max and Hillary to return a chimpanzee skull to where it was first discovered; 16,000 feet high on Africa's Mt Kilimanjaro! The skull is a stolen heirloom Max's Aunt stumbled across in a hidden vault. Max is delighted to go when he finds out Hillary can come. But then, Mom and Grandma invite themselves. That can cause problems since Max hasn't shared his 'sensitivity secret' with Mom. She suspects something, maybe something involving Hillary-but is that all? Max has to return the skull, keep Mom in the dark, all while dealing with Hillary's newest love-being a photo journalist. That wouldn't be so hard if Hillary didn't want to document the terrible plight the Maasai face with government sanctioned land stealing and Mt Kilimanjaro's even more terrible problem with climate change. All while a Tanzanian minister watches their every move. The Lonely Skull is based upon another Robby Robertson real life experience. And, there really is a mysterious elephant skull at Kilimanjaro's 16,000 foot level. Robby and many other climbers have wondered why and how the skull came to be there. This story is a gripping novel that turns the why's and how's that happened inside out. Robby writes about the outdoors with total realism. The Lonely Skull will suit anyone who enjoyed Gary Paulsen's Hatchet or Roland Smith's Peak Marcello stories. Can Max and Hillary find a way to be together-even after Mom finds out about Max's secret?
