Mugia travels the world, hidden by her best friend, Paul, in a cardboard box. Of course, she is not supposed to, Paul's mother told him to leave the little Jackson's Chameleon behind - but he didn't...
Mary Epsom's delightful book starts with Mugia's first trip to Europe in 1966 and follows the chameleon's real-life adventures as she and Paul travel thousands of kilometres across nine countries (including the Arctic Circle) until they finally return home to Nairobi.
For children aged 6-12 and Illustrated by Samira Matthews, The Chameleon who went to the North Pole... almost! makes a lovely gift.
