In Book 6: The Ostriches, Casper thinks she’s finally found her rhythm in the wilds of Africa—moving carefully, staying alert, and maybe even starting to feel a little brave.

 

Then she meets the ostriches.

 

Nineteen towering, fast-talking, head-bopping siblings… and one very wise old tortoise who insists there’s no need to rush anywhere at all.

 

The days are filled with laughter, chaos, and the occasional “boink!” to the head, but when the flock suddenly turns away from the path Casper needs to follow, she’s faced with something far harder than danger:  saying goodbye.

​

Leaving behind safety, friendship, and everything familiar, Casper must find the courage to continue alone—trusting her instincts and her heart as she journeys on.

 

Because sometimes the bravest thing isn’t facing what’s ahead…

 

it’s letting go of what you love.
