tale of friendship, risk, and reward, all set against the lush backdrop of Sri Lanka.
Chaya, a nobleman’s rebellious, outspoken, no-nonsense daughter, just can’t

After an equally haphazard prison break, Chaya barely escapes on the king’s
prized elephant! With leeches and revolution lurking in the jungle, Chaya leads
her companions on a thrilling adventure. After leaving her village as a thief, can
she return as a hero? Or will Chaya’s sticky fingers be the beginning—or the end—
of everything for the intrepid gang?

a lush, fictional Sri Lankan setting. Just right for adventure fans, the book explores
themes of friendship and loyalty, risk and reward, and heroism.
