The Cotton Keeper
by Wilf Morgan
A dangerous time and place in which to find yourself.
Especially if – like Femi – you’re a young chimpanzee on a quest.
Trying to escape a desperate existence with his starving tribe, Femi – along with his fearful best friend, Septimus and his tough older brother, Coker – strikes out to find a better life. The trio embark on a perilous adventure across the jungles and plains of Sierra Leone to find the one being who can help them – the legendary, mysterious
Cotton Keeper.
Unfortunately, Femi couldn’t have chosen a worse time for his quest. Because the Big-Walkers are at war.
Even as Femi and his friends trek towards their destination, the Big-Walkers race across the country on the backs of their growling, metal beasts, brandishing their magic, metal, killing arms.
The race is on for the young chimps – if they want to reach their goal, they have to get to the Cotton Keeper before the Big-Walkers do.
