Elephant Adventure by Willard Price
'You are walking into the jaws of death.' Hal and Roger Hunt are on an awesome African adventure to track down the rare great white elephant. The brothers coolly tackle their task - despite doom-laden prophecies from mumbo, a Watussi chieftain - and as the temperature rises...the danger-level intensifies.
Price knew all the right buttons to press to excite a young reader - exotic locations, nasty villains, wild animals and lashings of peril -- David Barnett * Guardian *
