After five years of misery in an all-girls orphanage with only one friend, twelve-year-old Alyssa Norris discovers her new power to make animals speak. When a zoo truck stops near the orphanage, a monkey runs out and invites her to escape to Africa to live with a new family. Alyssa agrees to go, flees Canada, and enters Tanzania, where she meets the family. After forgetting an order, the family is disgusted and temporarily leaves Alyssa all by herself. Luckily, another animal suggests a tour of the land. She says yes and they travel, facing many intense, risky, and wild surprises.
