This book is about a girl called Ruby that goes to live with her dad and grandmother in India. Her dad sets up a hotel with two mysterious men. She later finds evidence that those two men are poaching leopards and blaming her dad for it.

I really enjoyed this book because it was a very inspiring book about a girl who has to move without any choice. She finds a way to like a place she didnt like before. I would recommend this to someone aged 8-10 who enjoys adventure.

I think it was a great book. It was a bit sad at the start as it explained the girl's feelings and her past. But when the girl (Ruby) found out that leopards where in danger, she vowed to save them! Overall, I liked Ruby the best as she was brave and admitted when she needed help or told her friend if she was overwhelmed in mixed feelings. I would recommend it to adventurous or nature loving readers.

This is a very good story. It is a fiction and my favorite character is a boy called Praveen because he helped the boy very much. The story is, There lived a boy, with his dad and his granny in Australia and were Indians. They took some money from the neighbors and they were not able to give it back. So they left Australia and went to India, starting a hotel and living peacefully. I Will recommend this to children and adults as well.

I read this book at school as part of our class reader. It is all about adventurers and explorers in India. I didn’t think I would like the book at first, but after the first few chapters I was hooked! It’s an exciting story, but has sad moments too. I would recommend this book for 9-10 year olds.

I liked Ruby the best because she is brave and tries her very best. I like this book because it does have quite a lot of interesting facts about animals. I found it very factual and very intense, it made me want to read more.
