Joao is old now, and it's time to pass his message of hope on to another chimpanzee named "Jessica." Though Jessica has been rescued and is living in the same sanctuary as Joao, she has her own horrific and frightening story from her past to reveal. These two chimps know that humans must find a way to stop the slaughter of the great apes before all is lost and these vulnerable creatures will perish from the wild. To help carry on the "voice" for the voiceless, a hawk named "Moomba" becomes part of the race to save a chimp who is doomed to die soon unless some courageous people can get there in time to save him. | The Mission by Doreen Ingram, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
