The Leopard's Tail cover

An illustrated mountain adventure with Caucasian leopards, based on a real conservation project, from award-winning author Nicola Davies.

The sixth title in Nicola Davies' Heroes of the Wild series is a mountain adventure based on a real conservation project to protect Caucasian leopards. Malik loves exploring the mountains near his village in Armenia, and he's never forgotten the leopard he once saw as a very young boy. But the night he hears a shot from a poacher's gun ring out across the mountain he knows his leopard is in grave danger. As Malik strives to find out who would want to kill such a beautiful creature, he uncovers a villainous plot that will mean not only the death of his rare and beloved leopard, but will harm every other living thing in the mountains too.

As well as a gripping plot, the book offers a wealth of information on conservation. The quality of the writing is perhaps the most important feature as the descriptions of the landscape, the appearance and movement of the animals is strikingly beautiful. * The School Librarian *
