About
Tree-dotted African grasslands teem with beloved creatures like elephants,
giraffes, and zebras. But there is more to the landscape than meets the eye.
Down in the burrows, a colony of naked mole rats (NMRs), unlikely to win any
beauty pageants, lead busy, interesting lives. And just as does any human village,
an NMR burrow reflects the different talents, personalities, and aspirations
of its residents.
Mole rat twins Middee and Maudee are esteemed elders in their colony. But
there is one problem. They are bored with burrow life. When curiosity leads
them above ground, they have no idea of the danger that awaits. Lizzie is a
restless vagabond with two imaginative boys who spend most of their time
pondering what might exist outside the burrow, especially airplanes. Darling
old Lads from Limerick, devotees of poetry, washed into the burrow during a
monsoon and never left. As the burrow grows, the outside world intrudes when
scientists from abroad threaten the colony. It's all-hands-on deck as the NMRs
enlist the help from the big creatures above ground and a ravenous python
makes an appearance. As disaster lurks everywhere, the destiny of the NMRs
seems uncertain. Will they overcome all their challenges?
In this entertaining tale, a colony of busy mole rats living in a burrow in Africa
face danger and other trials as they explore the world above them.
