In Palombia, the president is throwing a lavish completion ceremony for a colossal project: a dam across the mighty river Huaytoonarro. An event that couldn’t leave the Marsupilami more indifferent, for he has other piranhas to fry: Mrs Marsupilami has disappeared. Our friend’s nose tells him that it was the doing of Bring M. Backalive, the famous hunter, and he rushes after the kidnapper, soon followed by Sarah and Bip … and then the situation becomes even more complicated!

If you've read any of the books in this series before you know what to expect -visual and other gags, a bit of adventure, devious humans and trappers and...Marsupilami. "tampered with" sugar cubes and a roach, hypodermic darts and...and Marsupilami getting darted?? Is this the end of our heroic....thing? Will the yellow and black spotted one end up on display in a cage?

Spoiler: no.

Kids should love this and I know one adult who is totally hooked on the series so he should be very happy!
