Akimbo and the Snakes (Akimbo)

by Alexander Mccall Smith

Akimbo and the Snakes (Akimbo) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Akimbo can't believe his luck when his father allows him to visit his uncle Peter's snake park. And when a local village calls to report a sighting of a green mamba snake--the rarest and most deadly one of all--Akimbo hopes to help his uncle catch it for the park.  But little does he expect to find himself trapped face to face with the deadliest of reptiles.

 

Bestselling novelist Alexander McCall Smith brings the majesty and dangers of Africa to life in this vividly imagined adventure for young readers.
