Koffi just wants to be free of her family's indentured life as beast keepers at the Night Zoo and Ekon just wants to make his big brother proud by ascending to his rightful place as a warrior for the elite Sons of the Six. In just one night their plans go up in flames as Koffi and Ekon are forced to work together to get back what they've lost and finally destroy the monster that's been plaguing their people. What follows is an action-packed, fast-paced journey through a treacherous jungle where they are fighting time and monsters--of both the human and animal kind. This book was full of adventure, friendship, and magic, and I couldn't stop turning the pages.
