"Ian and Shasta... Kenya, Namibia, RSA" is the second story in a series but can be read independently.
It takes readers on an enchanting journey through the adventures of Ian and his beloved robodog, Shasta. Set against the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes from Table Mountain to the shores of Boulders Beach, this book beautifully captures the spirit of exploration and discovery.
The narrative, told through Ian’s journal entries, provides a charming glimpse into his world filled with curiosity and wonder. Each chapter unfolds with vivid descriptions that transport readers to the heart of South Africa’s natural wonders and wildlife, from penguins sliding on sandy beaches to encounters with majestic ostriches.
The author skillfully weaves together themes of friendship, resilience, and the bond between humans and technology. Ian’s attachment to Shasta, despite the challenges they face, highlights the emotional depth of their relationship and underscores the book’s message about the importance of companionship.
Through Ian’s eyes, readers experience not only the joy of exploration but also moments of reflection and growth. The narrative is peppered with humor and touching moments that resonate long after the last page is turned!..
Overall, I would say this book is a delightful read for both young readers and adults alike. It blends adventure with heartfelt storytelling, making it a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys immersive tales of friendship and discovery.

Мы с нетерпением ждали продолжения серии (хотя эту книгу можно читать независимо от первой части), и оно нас не разочаровало! Иллюстрации по-прежнему экстраординарные - красочные, содержательные, интересно рассматривать детали.
История же снова ведет читателей в увлекательное путешествие вместе с Яном и его робопсом Шастой, на этот раз исследуя потрясающие пейзажи Южной Африки и ее дикую природу. Через записи в дневнике мальчика книга замечательно передает темы дружбы, стойкости, связи между человеком и технологиями.
Надо ли говорить, что мы уже зачитали оба издания (на русском и английском языке) и держим кулачки, чтобы приключения Яна и Шасты скорее продолжались!
