Reviewed by Jess Whiting

Jack was standing perfectly still. The leopard was barely three metres away, its eyes focused on him, its mouth full of dog. A familiar wave welled in Jack’s brain. He was about to enter the leopard’s mind.

Jack Brown has the amazing ability to see inside animals minds, but when he and his cousin Molly rescue a baby gorilla from a greedy poacher, they find themselves in great danger. This man is no ordinary poacher; he is a madman who will not rest until he gets his revenge. With their names on this man’s death list Jack and Molly must use their wits to stay alive.

This fiction book is great for animal lovers ages 10 and up. The reader will be taken on a thrilling adventure in which they will encounter poachers, smugglers and many fantastic animals in this action packed novel. Filled with twists and surprises, this book will have readers hooked.

An exciting read
