Agnes and Attie are off to the Sahara Desert on a mission to rescue rare baby animals from illegal wildlife traders.

Three rock hyrax pups have been kidnapped from their burrow in Egypt, and other baby animals are missing across Africa. Soon Agnes and Attie find themselves trapped in an ancient Egyptian tomb at the mercy of animal poachers – can they save the animals and themselves?
