Overview / 简介: |
Martine's amazing gift for healing animals is called upon during a trip to Zimbabwe, when she and friend Ben rescue a leopard targeted by dangerous bounty hunters. In this third book about Martine and her amazing gift for healing animals, the 11-year-old, her grandmother, and her friend Ben leave their South African home for Zimbabwe. They are going to help her grandmother's friend, who has had an accident, but the trip turns into much more. A giant leopard said to be in hiding in the hills near the ranch where they are staying desperately needs Martine's help. Many legends surround the creature, and the place of his death is ostensibly where a long-hidden treasure will be found. Because of this, many are determined to hunt the animal down. Through Martine's eyes, readers discover many issues plaguing modern Zimbabwe, from police corruption to animal poaching and the opportunism and tourism that threaten the traditional way of life. This fast-paced adventure story, inspired by an actual leopard now in a game preserve in Zimbabwe, includes elements that will appeal to a broad audience. Although having read The White Giraffe and Dolphin Song gives fuller insight into Martine's story, St. John does a good job of catching readers up on the past without retelling those plots.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| When you have an 11 year old who hates to read, try this series. Our daughter literally had to be dragged away from the books to get started on homework or go play with her friends! We caught her reading with a flashlight under the covers after lights out. Need I say more?
