The Pachyderm Tree

Description

After an accident in a central African game park, spoilt South African city boy Frankie Frans finds he can “mind talk” to the animals. He is persuaded by a desperate group of elephants to lead them on a quest to find the Pachyderm Tree of the ancient elephant legend. The elephants have no choice ─ if they do not find the tree somewhere in the wilderness of Africa and eat of its magic fruit, a terrible fate awaits them. During the quest Frankie meets a girl named Wainona, dying of AIDS, and learns about the haunted Dark Forest and the Circle of Death. Tragedy strikes and blood is shed as elephant meets man. And then, as the clouds move away, a miracle unfolds
