Otto the giant otterhound lives with his master in France. One day Duke, the owner of Otto, decides that Otto is too big to live in France and takes him to Africa. At a fort in Africa, Duke and Otto learn that Abou the Fierce and his bandits are planning an attack on the fort. Duke offers to fight them with only Otto to help.
The ending of Otto in Africa is rather funny. It is well worth your time to read this book. Otto is unfortunately out of print.

When Professor William Waterman Sherman begins his long-planned balloon voyage, he hopes to take a long trip (about a year) on which he might easily end up being the first to fly across the Pacific Ocean, but when his planning goes awry, he ends up on the supposedly uninhabited island of Krakatoa. Far from it! The society and lifestyle established on the island is extremely unique, packed with amazing inventions, and containing a giant diamond mine.
This is a book I enjoy reading again and again. A highly imaginative story, based off of scientific facts and absolute nonsense. I definitely recommend this one.
