Ten-year-old Mu, orphaned as a toddler, has lived his entire life in
the heart of Africa. For as long as he can remember, he has served in
the household of a great-uncle where he is unloved and ignored. In his
drudgery-filled life, Mu has little hope of happiness and little hope
that anything will ever change. But one day everything does change.
On
his way to draw water one morning, Mu is astonished when a chameleon
greets him by name and announces that they will embark on a quest
together. And what a quest it turns out to be! Mu faces danger and finds
unexpected allies as they journey through an ever changing landscape.
Through
his adventure, Mu learns many things about himself. Along with Mu, you
will walk through Africa, encountering good and evil. Read carefully and
you just may find out who you are too.
