Run for your life! Ellen and Corey Streater couldn't have asked for a better birthday present— an overnight camp-out at the zoo. But their dream gift becomes a nightmare when darkness falls. No one comes and they're locked in with the most dangerous animal of all— an escaped criminal. He's stalking their every move, determined to kidnap them for ransom— or worse! There's no time to waste. They're desperate to escape. They'll try anything— even Ellen's crazy science project on animal communication. Can they talk to the animals and summon help before it's too late?
