Check out the latest work by Joyce Major. "The Orangutan Rescue Gang" took her to Indonesia volunteering for rainforest and orangutan conservation. The outcome is an influential page-turner unlike any of her prior projects.
"A beautifully written adventure, this book will open readers hearts and minds to orangutans and the threats they face - and, I hope, inspire them to play an active part in their protection."
