Description Toward Books The Last Leopard (Animal Healer #3)
Martine is looking forward to the holidays and riding Jemmy, her white giraffe, until an accident sends her and Ben on a journey to the Matobo Hills wilderness in Zimbabwe. It is a lawless land, where nothing is as it seems. When they uncover a plot in which the fate of a magnificent leopard and the lost treasure of an African King are mysteriously linked, their friendship faces its greatest test. Far from home and the help of Grace and Tendai, and with Gwyn Thomas languishing, under false accusations, in jail, Martine and Ben must use every survival skill they possess. They'll come face to face with Griffin, Mercy, Mr Ratcliffe (known as Rat), Magnus the hornbill, and a witch doctor, not to mention Khan, the last leopard. They must decide who their friends are, and who are enemies, as they race against time to save the world's rarest leopard and each other. This third African adventure is written with all the zest and skill that have endeared so many readers to THE WHITE GIRAFFE and DOLPHIN SONG.Rating About Books The Last Leopard (Animal Healer #3)

The latest book I have read was The Last Leopard by Lauren st. John. The book is about two teenagers and there grandma going to help a friend in Zimbabwe. When they arrive they realize the real reason that their friend needed help. The story follows the two teenagers as they search for Khan, the last leopard. I really liked this book. I really liked this book because it is packed with adventures and action. For example, the main character comes face to face with the biggest leopard on record.Excellent book, 3rd in the Animal Healer series by Lauren St. John.

She can tame and help animals which would normally not want people near them. She and her friend Ben accompany Martine's grandmother to the Black Eagle Resort in a remote region of Zimbabwe where the proprietor, a family friend, needs help because of a broken leg. While there the
At first, I wasnt too sure what to make of this I almost wanted to dislike it, but it rose through the ranks from a rating of 6/10 to a rating of 8/10 by the time I finished, and now Im tempted to check out more of Laurens work.See, Laurens books follow a young girl called Martine who lives on a wildlife resort in South Africa, a girl who has a special gift with animals and who rides around on the back of a white giraffe called Jemmy. At first, I could only pick up on the clichés that are
Love itI'm an intense reader, but I've never read a book that gives me such a lovely calm feeling quite like this one when reading a book. I love the story line which is exiting and comparable to real life yet still gives you the amazing sensation of reading a story. I suggest this book to children of all ages.-Maria F 12
I wish these books would be a little faster paced, but the pace is my only complaint. The author writing style is good. I fall into the story just perfect .

Once again St John has done a wonderful job of bringing the wilds of Africa to life, with great descriptions of the landscape and the animals inhabiting it. This book has a more serious tone with detailed descriptions of the caged hunting.Again I thought that the story would have been just as good without the fantasy elements, although I did come to realise that without Martines healing touch very few of the animals in any of the three books would have survived. I was interested to read in the
