Revisit the world of Coomacka Island as Anansi Jr., the great-great-great grandson of legendary trickster Anansi Spider, learns a lesson in true friendship. Coomacka Island is a mysterious uncharted island (meaning that you won't find this island on any map) in the Caribbean Sea. Four unlikely explorers stumbled on to this wondrous island while searching for the legendary Macka Tree. Anansi Jr and the Mango Truck is but one of many stories that the explorers documented on their travels through Coomacka Island.
