Twelve-year old Lucy can't believe her luck when she is selected for the Wildlands Safari Escape Challenge, which involves solving a series of mind-bending puzzles to unlock access to new animal habitats across the local safari park. Her team will be racing the Wildlands Ambassadors, a group of student animal experts. And if they win, wildlife-loving Lucy will get the chance to be an Ambassador herself! But this challenge is trickier than Lucy expects--her team is in for a wild ride! Broken locks, downed electronics, and empty animal enclosures are just the start. Lucy discovers something truly terrifying: Wildlands' beloved baby elephant is on the loose and might be in danger! The team is sure this can't be part of the competition--and with their walkie-talkie on the fritz, they have no way to call for help.
