“Credit the Crocodile” by Godfrey Harris is a unique story that blends adventure, humor, and environmental activism into a narrative that will enthrall readers young and old. Set against the backdrop of the African bush, Harris spins a thought-provoking tale to capture the hearts and minds of his audience.
The story follows two American teenagers, Paul and Taylor, who embark on a mission to release wild crocodiles from captivity. Their well-intentioned activism lands them in trouble with the local authorities who have them sentenced to survive two weeks in the bush — to appreciate the difference between life on a farm and life in the wild.
The real charm of the book begins here, as the duo encounters a pair of extraordinary crocodiles—Credit and Cynthia—who come to display, astonishingly, an ability to understand and communicate with the teens in English.
Harris’s skillful storytelling brings the characters to life. Paul’s energetic determination and Taylor’s analytic passion create a dynamic duo whose interactions are both relatable and endearing. Credit, with his wise demeanor, and Cynthia, with her playful attitude, add a layer of charm and intrigue that makes the pair memorable.
Harris makes the story even more interesting by bringing the politics of the White House and Pretoria into saving the boys. The raw reality of survival and the possibility of nature winning against man create a compelling backdrop for the drama.
“Credit the Crocodile” also subtly weaves in themes of conservation and respect for nature. It challenges readers to reflect on the human impact on wildlife, all the while delivering a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging narrative. This book promises an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, suspense, and a powerful message about the importance of preserving our natural world in a sustainable way.
