After an introduction to the world of Pangolins, this book focusses on one Pangolin family who are disturbed by a gang of animal smugglers while feeding in the jungle one night. The two Pangolin youngsters, Timmie and Toby are kidnapped and imprisoned in a suitcase, destined to be trafficked and sold. After a frightening journey the little Pangolin brothers engineer their own escape from captivity, encountering kind support from animal conservation workers who return them to their jungle home. The smugglers get their just desserts.
