The Mystery of the Missing Lion: A Precious Ramotswe Mystery for Young Readers

by Alexander McCall Smith Narrated by Adjoa Andoh

Overview

A detective in the wild.

Precious Ramotswe gets a very special treat. She gets a trip to visit her Aunty Bee at a safari camp. On her first day in camp, a new lion arrives. But this is no average lion: Teddy is an actor-lion who came with a film crew. When Teddy escapes, Precious and her resourceful new friend Khumo decide to use their detective skills to help track him. They will brave the wilds of the bush-and its hippos and crocodiles-as they try to find where Teddy has gone.

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2014 - AudioFile

In this third story about young Precious Ramotswe, the future detective is invited to visit her Aunt Bee at a safari camp. Narrator Adjoa Andoh has lovely vocal quality and an interesting accent that is perfect for the narratives about a girl who lives in Botswana. There are many interesting facts and words, as well as exciting adventures: Precious encounters a cranky hippo, a trained lion, and even saves a man’s life. Andoh’s character voices are less believable than the narrative, not because of the Botswana accent but because her voice becomes high and forced. However, her hippo imitation is delightful. Listeners will miss the readers’ guide and recipe included in the print version. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
