Eliza and her family have gone to Tanzania to study elephants. When Eliza risks her life to save her cheetah cub friend, Tally, from poachers, she is shipped off to boarding school in England "for her own good." But Eliza knows there's nothing good about being thousands of miles away from the plains of Africa, or the animals she loves. And when she discovers the poachers' plan to harm not only Tally, but thousands of elephants as well, Eliza knows what she must do. But then in a cruel twist of fate Eliza loses her gift to talk to animals. Without her special powers will she have what it takes to save Tally and the elephants -- and herself?
