Query: Top notch adventure, plus African history

What a great adventure story. It also informs readers about some aspects of the culture and history of one area of Africa. The author makes very good use of suspense to keep the reader going. I've read this to two fourth grade classes, and they couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen to the three children next. The final part of the book may be a little too suspenseful or frightening for some young readers. I warn my kids it gets pretty scary toward the end. Give this well written book to kids who like scary stories. The reading level is probably good 5th grade.
