Avery and Masa, a fire fox and a slow loris, are animals who have been captured and taken from their homes. This story follows them as they not only escape their captors but also encounter a tribe of Komodo dragons and save a village of slow loris while meeting a variety of animals. The story's dual message is of the importance of protecting the endangered and that with teamwork we can change the world. The ending lets the reader know there are new adventures coming for these friends. The story is a quick read and the adventures should interest the reluctant reader. Engaging, brightly colored illustrations add interest and break up the text.
