Bush Baby, Little Angel of the Grasslands

Jackie Rhodes, a British girl living in Kenya with her family, rescues a sick animal called a bushbaby and names him Murphy. She cares for him until he recovers, and together with her family and friends, they share many adventures involving wild animals and encounters with poachers. When Jackie’s father is called back to England, she must leave Africa behind. Before departing, she, Murphy, and her father’s friend Tembo embark on a final journey across the dangerous savannah, fleeing poachers and corrupt police. During their escape, Jackie teaches Murphy-now accustomed to human care-how to live in the wild so she can release him back into his natural home before saying goodbye.
