A lion cast out from his pride. An elephant who can read the bones of the dead. A baboon rebelling against his destiny. For generations, the animals of the African plains have followed a single rule: only kill to survive. But when an unthinkable act of betrayal shatters the peace, the fragile balance between predators and prey will rest in the paws of three unlikely heroes, each with something to gain--and everything to lose.

"For generations, the Silverback troop has lived in peaceful seclusion high above the plains, but when a new evil descends on their home, one young gorilla must venture into the unknown to prevent darkness from taking hold of all they hold dear"--

"Grandmother's attacks on the creatures of Bravelands come to a head"-- Bravelands is in turmoil. With Thorn dead, the animals of the plains desperately search for the next Great Parent, a role Prance is afraid to fill. Chase hides in plain sight amidst Grandmother's most loyal creatures, praying that the terrible antidote she's discovered will continue to hold the snake's power over her at bay. And Bramble finds himself up against a foe he couldn't...

"Bird builds the perfect nest, the only problem is everyone else wants to sleep in it!"--

It is bedtime for Albie the warthog but he would rather play with the other animals that live in the savanna.

"When the teams take on the African savanna, the competition heats up, and Mari starts to feel the pressure. She's never been the strongest or the fastest racer. Sure, she knows almost everything about lions and rhinos and zebras. But facts can only get the team so far. She better keep up, or she might let her friends down. Because the finish line is in sight, and Team Red wants to win!" -- Provided by publisher.

Searching for a playmate before going to bed, a little lion asks some animals on the savanna if they are asleep.

"The elephant has an extremely long trunk! That's not normal! He showered, dried and perfumed another elephant. That's not normal! He helped an old chimpanzee climb a tree. That's not normal!" -- cataloger's translation of publisher's or seller's website.

Tortoise is on the hunt for a friend, but only encounters huge Elephant and Hippo, who are mean about his small size and wrinkly skin. But though Tortoise isn't big, he is certainly brainy! He sets out to show Elephant and Hippo that biggest doesn't mean best by challenging them to a tug of war. They sneeringly accept ... but little do they know that they have really agreed to fight each other!
