Into Wonderland (Paperback)

Jenna and Matt are twins on holiday in South Africa. Seated around a fire in a game reserve, they listen to a game ranger talking about poachers. A rhino has been killed for its horns and a baby rhino left to fend for itself. The twins hear a parrot squawk, asking for help. Curious they follow the parrot but are caught by the poachers. The parrot meanwhile leads Andoyiki, a young boy from a village nearby to their rescue. The parrot takes them to Wonderland, a place beyond the river, where he has led animals to safety away from poachers. The parrot can communicate with all the animals and enables them to live calmly side by side. But, the carnivores are tired of a vegetarian diet and begin to see the other animals as lunch. The parrot needs help to rid the game reserve of poachers so the animals can return safely. The twins come up with a masterful plan. Wonderland and a story about children riding astride elephants in an attack on poachers remains a mystery to this day.
