Children love zoos, but they rarely think about the exhibits from the animals point of view. Ruffen: The Escape to Loch Ness presents this side of the story. When Ruffen gets a letter from Auntie Nessie with an invitation to visit her, he has no idea just how risky the journey will turn out to be. Ruffen is caught by humans and exhibited in a zoo. There he learns how unhappy all the other animals are in captivity. Fortunately, Ruffen is strong enough to get out of his cage and release the other animals as well. With the animal catchers on their heels, he and the other animals continue their escape to Loch Ness and Auntie Nessies house."
