Never Mashamba’s 12th birthday couldn’t go worse. His father, the scientific genius Dr. Mashamba, is shot and wounded by poachers. But the criminals are really after the hybrid rhino calf Sipho, which his father crossbred against all odds.
The Mashambas must flee Zimbabwe for a game farm in South Africa, where Dr Mashamba can recuperate and Sipho can get the care he needs. Never soon realises that Sipho is in danger, but his father doesn’t pay attention to his fears.
Who exactly is after Sipho the rhino calf, and why? Can Never trust his new friends, Becks and Dumisani? And what does a mysterious Ganesh pendant — the only thing Never has from his birth family — have to do with all this?
The Golden Rhino is a page-turner of an adventure for tweens!
