Reviews
Elephant Ben: 'compelling reading'
Cadoc: 'Give this book 8 out of 10.'
Wolf!: 'Captures perfectly the arbitrary, necessary cruelty of a predator and the deliberate, pointless cruelty of human hunters. Children will rush through this story ...'
Cadoc: 'Had me on the edge of my seat.'
CADOC: Worthy, well-written and stomach-churning.
An exciting and immensely enjoyable adventure story ... A great read for any young wildlife enthusiast.
Kimba:'Geoffrey Malone continues to be one of the great specialists of the animal novel.'
Torn Ear: 'I thoroughly recommend this.'
