The Leopard Boy

AED 50.00

“A beautiful story, a wise and wonderfully told tale of conservation in action; landscape, animals and ourselves, all of us woven together, all of us dependent on one another for our survival. A book of hope.”

-SIR MICHAEL MORPURGO

Khalid 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.

He stumbles upon the home of an old man who tells him about the danger faced by the last of the leopards. When Khalid gets home, his uncle sets a trap for the creature he is sure has killed the lost goat. In the following days, Khalid and the old man discover signs of a leopard and determine to save it from Khalid’s uncle.

Awarded a Kirkus star in the USA, The Leopard Boy is a timeless and inspiring story set in the Arabian Peninsula highlighting the dilemmas facing the local people in seeking to improve their lives, and will captivate animal lovers concerned about plight of the Arabian leopard.
