A wondrous story which will delight children and adults in an equal manner. Told from the perspective of an animal, it offers a little bit of everything. Readers will be drawn from the first page, turning one page after the other to see if the black panther will fulfill the ancient prophecy.
My thoughts:
What a wonderful tale! I loved how the author brought the Amazon rainforest onto the pages of a book. The main character, Izel, is a black panther with a unique destiny. She will go on a journey like no other, accompanied by a group of young animals, only to end up in such a different place from what she imagined.
I am not going to tell you details about the story itself, you will have to read the book to find out. What I want to share with you, though, is how much the story impressed me. The author did an excellent job in creating Izel, and I found it comforting that she brought the black panther in close connection with humans.
Exquisitely written, the tale captured me completely. I followed the jaguar’s journey from up close, eager to see what happened next. As I mentioned above, the storyline is amazing, offering something for every reader. From undying friendships to the magic of the Amazon rainforest, you cannot help but feel like you have entered the story yourself.
I must also applaud the author for approaching uncomfortable topics. On the one hand, she teaches her readers that it is perfectly fine to feel different, as long as you love yourself and embrace your uniqueness. At the same time, she highlights the disastrous consequences of deforestation, hunting, and poaching. We clearly see how threatened animals are, and how important the rainforest is, not only for the respective area but for the entire planet.
Verdict:
Without a doubt, this is one of the best books I have ever read. I loved, loved, loved it! You can see that the author has poured her heart and soul into the story, refining each detail to perfection. Great job!
