Panther

A short, pacey large-ish print read. 14-year-old Pati, ambition to produce TV wild-life documentaries and already an expert on big cats, is on a family caravan weekend in Devon and determined to track down the panther that is killing local sheep. Teamed up with Simon two years younger but already determined to be a great game warden in Africa, they spend the weekend combing the moors while their dads fish and mums potter. Pati gets lucky with a sighting and then, through applying her knowledge and tracking skills, finds the den where the family group lives. All highly implausible but you are carried along by the tale - and you get to learn quite a bit about panthers en route.
