The Girl Who Lost a Leopard

"Farook’s wild tales set on Serendib (Sri Lanka) conjure up endangered nature, cruel criminals and engaging child heroes. Here, Selvi has developed a bond with Lokka, a rare mountain leopard ― but big cats are valuable to poachers and someone has discovered Selvi’s secret. Can she protect Lokka ― or will someone betray her? Edge-of-your-seat excitement"-Sally Morris, The Daily Mail

"...Set, like her previous novels, in Sri Lanka, this is a tale for those who crave animal adventures such as those of Lauren St John and Katherine Rundell. The spirited Selvi befriends a wild leopard, but poachers see only its price tag. She must find a way to protect the “true king of the mountains”. [The] author’s passion for the natural world currently under threat makes their book outstanding" -Amanda Craig, The New Statesman
