Ruaha by Buddhadeb Guha [Hardcover]

In the land of Gugunogumbar, where Simba means lion and Tombo means elephant, greetings are exchanged with "Jambo-Sijambo." Set against the backdrop of the deep jungles of Africa, Buddhadeb Guha's Ruaha tells the chilling tale of adventure. The familiar characters of Rudra and Rijuda are joined by a new companion, Titir Sen. Despite her light and breezy name, Titir is neither. She is as brave as she is agile. She is also the first in all of India in rifle shooting competitions. Otherwise, would Rijuda have taken her along? This time, the adventure is even more perilous. Rijuda has the chance to confront Bhushunda, the villain who had previously wounded him and escaped. News has come that Bhushunda is involved with a ring of African wildlife smugglers.

Thus, Ruaha is thrilling from the very beginning. The intense, breathless story involves these three traveling to Africa, assuming disguises, confronting Bhushunda, and getting entangled in various exciting events.
