When two active boys in their early teens spend a week together in a jungle village, there is sure to be some excitement--and Mohan and Obhee are no exception.

Obhee plans the week to show Mohan, his guest, the fascination and the dangers of the jungle. But more turns up than either the boys or their parents anticipate.

A brush with a panther, death in a pot, a confrontation with a deadly cobra, a python, a witch doctor, and more bring Mohan face to face with a question that has been troubling him for some time, and for which he needs to find a solution.

Life in India today is accurately portrayed and presented on these pages. The happenings in this story are based on actual incidents that are known firsthand by the writer who has spent several years with her husband as a missionary in India.
