Description
As the Karachi Zoo prepares for its inauguration by Fatima Jinnah, an unusual collection of animals—led by a notoriously crazy, clumsy cuckoo—attempt to help the zoo’s only elephant escape to freedom. Set in 1947 on the Indian subcontinent, this is first in the series of adventures centered on the notorious cuckoos. For children and adults.

“A novella with complex characterizations and an enchantingly humorous tone that may prove irresistible for both children and adults”~ Tanveer Anjum, a poet, translator, and an academic.
