Young Caj and his elephant companion Mjok venture out to visit a scientist in the mountains who is working on ways for monkeys and humans to communicate together. Finding their friend away from his home, Caj peeks inside to find three monkeys housed in cages. And they can use sign language! But Mjok, seeing the caged animals, can't help but release their latches and set them free. Despite the reassurance they will return, the three monkeys race off, and Caj is ordered by the Lingala council to journey to a trading post and replace them.
Caj sees the adventure as the perfect opportunity to search for a long lost scroll that teaches humans how to communicate with the animal kingdom, but the expedition brings far more than he expected. Soon Caj and Mjok, together with an impish young girl, find themselves in a desperate struggle for their lives against a race of people who will stop at nothing to have the lost scroll for themselves.
For fans of The Jungle Book and Treasure Island, Elephantopia is a lighthearted adventure about persistence, respect, and the true meaning of friendship.
