July 2012 Book of the Month. The classic animal tales of Willard Price are given a power conservation theme and a new look in this thrilling modern adventure. Twelve year Amazon and her cousin Frazer are recruited by TRACKS, an organisation committed to saving endangered wild life. Soon the cousins are off on a scary adventure deep in the heart of the thick Siberian forests where the Amur leopard, one the rarest wildcats is in terrible danger. It’s a thrilling read with an important message.
