The game is said to be extremely dangerous and Helena is warned not to touch it when her father has to leave the house. But she is cross with him for leaving her alone and in defiance goes back to the game. She clicks on a video showing a girl in trouble and, unable to resist the urge to help her, tumbles back in time to a Southern Africa beset by slave traders, wild animals, hostile inhabitants and runaway criminals. Helena's older brother Sam, intent on rescuing her, follows close on her heels. Before they find each other, their courage and resourcefulness are tested as they face and overcome dangerous and difficult situations. A gripping and humorous page-turner that has something of everything n science fiction, adventure, history and love. It is suitable for all readers but will especially appeal to boys and girls of about 10 to 13 years of age."
