About The Book

‘Guaranteed free of unicorns and princesses, it's fun, empowering fiction for 5-8 year olds.’ David Nicholls, author of One Day

Join Katy, Cassie, Zia and their new friend Luca on a series of amazing adventures as they work together to save the planet…

When Cassie's cousin Luca joins the girls' school, they have the perfect idea to make him feel included: invite him to a magical playdate adventure. Together with Thunder the cat, they decide to go on a wild journey to the African savannah in their very own flying safari jeep.

But when they arrive, the animals are in a frenzy. The watering holes are drying up and soon there won’t be anything left for them to drink! Luca has an idea that might just save the day – but will the friends be able to pull it off?

Raves and Reviews

‘A great read for 5 to 8 year olds, book 5 in the series but read perfectly well in isolation… [there is] a touch of magic and a great nod to environmental matters to spark a discussion about the difference an individuals actions can make. Very happy to recommend this to families and schools.’
