Jack and the Wild Life

Lisa Doan, Ivica Stevanovic

After a wild plan by his parents left Jack stranded in the Caribbean, the Berenson family decided to lay out some rules. Jack's mom and dad agreed they wouldn't take so many risks. Jack agreed he'd try to live life without worrying quite so much. Then Jack's parents thought up another get-rich-quick scheme. Now the family's driving around Kenya. An animal attack is about to send Jack up a tree—alone, with limited supplies. As Jack attempts to outsmart a ferocious honey badger and keep away from an angry elephant, he'll have plenty of time to wonder if the Berenson Family Decision-Making Rules did enough to keep him out of trouble.

Jack and the Wild Life is a book where Jack and his parents, Richard and Claire Berenson, have thought up another get-rich quick scheme. Now Jack is alone in Africa, fighting a Honey Badger for a stuffed monkey, and steering clear of a hormonal elephant. All while trying to survive on limited resources.
