Africa is a land of mystery, of jungles, of
exotic animals and vast deserts. And for Alicia and Annie, it
is a land of surprises. When their father accepts a position at
a small African college, the two girls find they are in for a
world of adventure-if they can survive. Between escaping
renegade cobras and cockroach armies, making friends with lions
and nearly getting squashed by elephants, and teaching a
chimpanzee to play dressup-not to mention trying to convince
the Africans that Santa Claus is not a witch doctor-Alicia and
Annie begin to realize that they may be in over their heads.
Regardless of the danger, they come to love this strange and
wild land, its people, and its customs. Growing up in Africa is
full of tales and truths that no reader will ever forget. Les
and Genny Nuckolls are both California natives with a love for
traveling and writing. Les and his children lived in Africa for
a number of years. During this time, they developed a deep
appreciation and understanding of African family and cultural
values. He and his two young daughters had some amazing
experiences, many of which are chronicled in this book. SIZE:
