Book description
Ellen and Lorna, the twin lionesses transported from Lingmere Zoo in
England to an African sanctuary, have been renamed. They are African
lions now. Ellen has become Kimya, which means quiet and Lorna is now
Huru, meaning free. Released into the wild, they are forced to fend for
themselves as they face hunger, unbearable heat and, worst of all, the
deadly wrath of the other animals. Will the sisters survive to create a
new pride? Colin Dann won the Arts Council National Award for
Children's Literature for his first novel, The Animals of Farthing Wood.
