DESCRIPTION:

Warm-hearted story that will appeal to readers of books by Michael Morpurgo and Lauren St John Can a leopard save Khalid's village? The boy spends his days looking after his uncle's goats. One day he follows the goats higher up the mountain than he has ever been before, only to discover that one of the kids is missing. But he does stumble upon an old man who lives on his own there and who tells him about the danger faced by the last of the leopards. On returning home, his uncle is angry that one of his goats has been lost and and sets a trap for the creature he is sure has killed it. In the folowing days, the boy and the old man discover signs of a leopard and determine to save it from the boy's uncle. Then the boy discovers that his uncle plans to allow a mining company destroy the mountain and the last thing he needs is to be foiled by the presence of an endangered and protected animal. This beautiful, timeless and inspiring story set in the Arabian peninsula will captivate animal lovers and highlights the dilemmas facing traditional peoples in seeking to improve their lives.
