Evangeline Mudd & The Golden Haired Apes - Softcover

Evangeline Mudd has had an unusual childhood. Her primatologist parents have taken their child-rearing cues from the golden-haired ape, whose resourceful and fun-loving lifestyle they deeply admire. But one day they fail to return from a research trip to the Ikkinasti Jungle and Evangeline has to follow and find them herself! She discovers that an evil man called Rexi is destroying the jungle to build the world's biggest mall and has lured her parents into the jungle so they can't prevent him. But, with the help of an ex-head-hunter and some friendly golden-hairs, Rexi and his bulldozers are outwitted, and everyone returns home to live happily ever after.

Andrea Wesson is the illustrator of several popular books for children and says she would love to live in the Ikkinasti Jungle - just as long as there were a fridge nearby. For now, Andrea lives in California.
