I loved the characters in this book, and the way they were portrayed. Also the setting in the African bush, and the magic of Karibu. Gogo Maya and her leopard switch places with Ethan's cousin, Joe, to get out of a tight spot, and land Joe right in a dangerous situation instead. Ethan and friends have to go into the magical land of Karibu to rescue Joe. A fun story full of adventure, magic, and learning to behave responsively. Although I'm not sure Gogo Maya was really as repentant as she might have been by the end of the story...
