Loula is tired of the behavior of her three triplet brothers so she decides to pack her bags and head to Africa. Gilbert, her opera singer mother's chauffeur, is sympathetic when her parents don't seem to notice Loula's plight and since he knows the way to Africa, he offers to take her. The two travelers embark on an imagination filled and exciting journey. 
 Loula is such a sweet story and I was glad Gilbert was the type of grown up who understood the frustrated little girl and respected her decision to escape from her horrible brothers even if it were only for a day in Africa.
