Publisher's Synopsis
A thrilling adventure set in the jungles of India from the Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlisted author of Secrets of the Snakestone.
When Roma discovers a golden leaf-eating monkey in her school grounds, she can't believe it! Not only is it the rarest monkey in all of India, but its home is hundreds of miles away. What is it doing here?
If Roma can return the monkey to Assam and discover its secret habitat, she can prove once and for all that she is an exceptional scientist and worthy of a place at medical school.
But as she sets off on her quest, Roma gets swept into a daring jungle adventure featuring bandits, two English children, tigers and a mysterious magical jewel called the Snakestone. Roma has unwittingly become embroiled in a deadly plot involving her father. But will she be able to follow her heart and succeed in her dream?
