| Re: Wildlife Novels
There is a trilogy of novels written for teenagers about a 15 year old boy called Smiler who absconds from the police after being accused of a crime he hasn’t committed, and a cheetah that escapes from Longleat wildlife park. The first book is called The Runaways when their paths cross on Salisbury Plain in a very readable, and plausible, way. The second novel is called The Flight of the Grey Goose and the third is The Painted Tent which is about the return to the wild of a captured peregrine falcon. There is a strong element of conservation of wildlife in the novels as Smiler becomes more and more convinced he wants to work with animals. Like all good fiction the three books can be read independently of each other and can be enjoyed by all ages. |
