In The Bush

Set among the vast landscapes of Tanzania, "In the Bush" follows Elias, a young 16 year old Hadza boy on the journey from childhood into a man.

When a hunting expedition ends in tragedy and his father returns mortally wounded, the world he has always known begins to unravel. Determined to understand what happened, he leaves the safety of his village and follows the hunters into the wilderness, accompanied only by his loyal dog, Mundo.

As he prepares for the journey ahead, readers are immersed in the daily life of one of the world’s last hunter-gatherer societies. Through detailed illustrations inspired by real Hadza traditions, In the Bush offers a glimpse into a way of life that has endured for thousands of years—tracking game, gathering honey, crafting tools, and surviving alongside the rhythms of the land.

But something is wrong in the bush.

An unseen threat stalks the wilderness. Hunters vanish. Strange signs appear. The balance between man and nature begins to break. As fear spreads, the boy must confront the dangers hidden beyond the village and discover what kind of man he will become.

Part survival story, part coming-of-age tale, and part dark wilderness mystery, In the Bush is a journey into one of the last untamed places on Earth—where every footprint tells a story, and not every creature fears man.
