Liffey Rivers in the shadow of the serpent

the long version

From www.liffeyrivers.com: "13-year-old Irish dancer Liffey Rivers is on safari in South Africa with her eccentric Aunt Jean headed to an Irish dance competition in Johannesburg. After dodging a charging rhino, fending off a pride of lions and rerouting an enraged mother elephant, Liffey's problems have just begun. When Liffey is confronted by a deadly Black Mamba snake in the tall savanna grasses, she must rely on instinct and her Irish dancing ability to survive. At the Johannesburg Feis, Liffey's troubles continue and she finds herself, along with a little boy in a wheelchair, again in the shadow of the serpent."
