Book 7: The Vultures
A baby warthog’s father is missing.
A grounded vulture has forgotten how to hope.
And one small lost house cat refuses to give up on either of them.
After saying goodbye to her ostrich friends, Casper continues her long journey home—only to meet Wallace, a tiny warthog desperately searching for his father, Wigbert. Casper knows Wigbert well: he once saved her life. Now his family needs him, and Casper is determined to return the favour.
But finding one warthog in the vast African bush is no easy task.
With the help of a prickly porcupine named Pollyanna, an almost invisible stick insect, and a wonderfully dramatic committee of vultures, Casper must combine everyone’s unique strengths to search from both the ground and the sky.
There is just one problem: Boggles the vulture can’t fly.
As the unlikely friends race to reunite Wigbert with his family, Casper discovers that asking for help can be an act of courage, that differences can become strengths, and that even the most impossible problems can be solved when nobody gives up.
Filled with laugh-out-loud humour, unforgettable animal characters, genuine heart, and a breathtaking flight above the African bush, The Vultures is another captivating story in the award-winning The Incredible Adventures of Casper the Cat Who Got Lost in Africa series.
