About This Book

Inspired by the 2028 London Olympics, the animals and birds of the jungle have launched their own grand sporting event—the Jungle Olympics. With every creature eager to participate, the forest is buzzing with excitement as one event after another brings new surprises and new heroes.
The next big contest is the Cricket Test Match, a sport humans removed from the Olympics after 1900 but proudly revived by order of the Jungle King, Mr Lion. The match between the Royal Eleven and the Jungle Eleven is reaching its thrilling climax. Mr Rhino, the Jungle team's most powerful hitter, is just a few strokes away from smashing his side to victory.
Desperate to save the match, Mr Lion makes a bold and risky decision: he asks Mr Monkey to bowl the final over—even though Mr Monkey has a disabled arm and has never been trusted with such responsibility. The crowd gasps, the players stare, and the Royal Eleven wonder if their captain has lost his mind.
But Mr Monkey has a secret. The underestimated bowler has a clever plan—one that might outsmart even the strongest hitters and turn him from a zero into a hero.
This lively and humorous story celebrates courage, clever thinking, and the idea that every player, no matter how small or overlooked, can shine when the moment arrives.
