I read these books when I was a "tween" and this writer is awesome!! These books are kind of like a cross between the Hardy Boys and Tarzan! Loads of adventure and a little mystery set among the rugged and dangerous wilderness as these two boys and their father try to capture wild animals for zoos back home. I have bought loads of these for presents for most of my small nephews and cousins and I bought every one of the set for my own boys - who are only 1 and 2, lol!!
