About the Book
WHAT IS THE MYSTERIOUS FIVE?
That’s the question that little Iora, a resident of Twitterland, a hidden rainforest civilisation, must answer in order to save her father’s life. Searching for him, she enters the Wacky Wilderness—an enchanted jungle—where she learns that it is not just her father’s life that’s threatened. The entire jungle is doomed! And thus begins Iora’s incredible adventure with dwarf Beetle and her bosom foe Owlus, and together, the three encounter many tribes, clans and creatures of the wild!
But as they carry on this mad and marvellous expedition, little do they know that destiny has an evil surprise in store for them . . .
