This book is about
The villagers needed a new leader so they set a challenge for 3 boys to complete.

The main characters are
The old woman, the noisy boy, the clever boy, the short quiet bit and the deadly booomslang.

My favourite part of the book is
When the boy brought back the snake to the village by feeding it eggs.

I would also like to say
That I wouldn’t want to meet a boomslang.
