MONKEY MAGIC: THE CURSE OF MUKADA by Grant S. Clark

What on earth is causing the orangutans of Mukada Nature Reserve to fall sick and head to the coast? Romy Alexander – on a visit to Borneo with her scientist father – isn’t convinced by the park warden’s explanation that overcrowding is the cause of the problem.

The eleven-year-old soon discovers she has acquired extraordinary powers to investigate the mystery that brings her face to face with dark forces threatening the creatures of the rainforest. In a captivating and moving adventure, Volume 1 of the Monkey Magic series, Romy comes to realise that she alone can help break a curse that has brought suffering to generations of orangutans.
