Survival is an instinct.

The legendary Joe, a playful, smart fifteen-foot-tall gorilla, and his lifelong best friend Jill Young have grown up together in the remote mountains of Central Africa. When Joe's peaceful existence is shattered by poachers, Jill and zoologist Gregg O'Hara rescue their innocent friend and move him to the safety of an animal conservancy in California. But Joe's safety is short-lived. No longer a myth, his notoriety makes him a target for an enemy from his past - a ruthless hunter who will do anything to capture the mighty Joe. From the moment you meet him, to his incredible display of courage, mighty Young will fill your heart with magic.
