A re-imagining of Kipling’s Jungle Book stories set in a post-apocalyptic world from which humans have all but vanished.

In a world where animals have taken over from humans, a girl named Mowgli has been adopted by a family of wolves. When their home is destroyed by the tiger Shere Khan, she runs away to protect them. She winds up trying to find out where she came from and why all other humans have disappeared. Taken in by Baloo and then guided by Bagheera, she learns from her successes and failures as she grows up, until, as an adult, she is ready for the final confrontation with Shere Khan.
