Victor and the Lost City

When Victor, the school troublemaker, is sent away to Benin, he doesn't expect to find a lost city in the jungle. He isn’t even sure he wants to, because all he wants is to finish this quickly so he can go back home.

As Victor explores the jungle and learns the secrets of the lost city, he realises that the people there need help — and that he might be the only one who can save them.

But the jungle has other plans for him…
