Book Synopsis
This is the third book of the Adventures of Davy Match ( preceeded by 'Babaru of the South Seas' and 'The Chocolate Dam'). Professor Beal sends Davy, now a high school senior, to East Africa to find a small tribe of mountain people, the Te’uk, whom he had contacted and studied as a young man. Davy is caught up in the fate of a boy his age, Lokole, who has suffered deep trauma. Davy and Lokole travel through the fictional country of Burando, witnesses to genocide, arms trading, and the smuggling of blood minerals from Conga. Returning to his school, Davy organizes his classmates in a cause to free Lokole who has been arrested in Burando, and with the help of an Amnesty International type organization, and by their own determination and courage, they succeed. Finally, at the conclusion of the trilogy, characters from "Babaru" reenter, and Davy is reunited with Niki.
