This book is about an accident that sends a young girl Martine, her grandma, and her best friend, Ben to the Matobo Hills in Zimbabwe. She is sad to be away from the game reserve where she lives, but soon discovers secrets and unlocks mysteries about the animals of the region. The land is home to a legendary giant leopard named Khan, who is rumored to be the rarest on Earth. Martine and Ben soon realize that he is in grave danger due to hunters and they decide to protect him. While they do have skills in the wilderness, they also have to stick together and help each other with their friendship. Little bit of drama, but mostly an adventurous book with a few thrilling parts. Someone who would like to read this would be someone who likes books with excitement from start to finish. This book can transport you to a Safari. 10/10
