Mum is in the spa, Dad is in the casino, and Zoé is setting a course for Africa. Despite the life of luxury she leads in Monte Carlo, she has decided to bring her pet, an African grey parrot, home to his native land.
Zoé is a feisty, determined girl who lets nothing get in the way of her plans. A stowaway on her father’s yacht will not stop her. Her nosy neighbour, on the other hand, just might.
A short, light, very readable novel for young readers aged 10 to 14. The work won a prize in a young people’s fiction category at Oireachtas na Gaeilge in 2014.
