The Ghost Leopard

Journey through the dangerous trails of the Himalayan mountains in this unforgettable standalone adventure from the bestselling author of The Last Bear. Perfect for 8+ readers

‘The snow leopard is not called the ghost of the mountain for nothing. You will not see Chaaya unless she wants to be seen.’

Lucas Bright is looking forward to a school holiday spent eating chocolate, watching movies and playing video games until his thumbs are sore. But his wildlife photographer mum has other plans. Which is how Lucas finds himself trekking up one of the highest mountain ranges in Nepal, in search of the rare and elusive snow leopard …

Navigating dangerous trails with a tour group whose members aren’t what they seem, this mission might just be an impossible one. And as the paths grow steeper and the risks ever greater, Lucas must decide how far he is willing to go in search of the ghost of the mountains.

With illustrations by the award-winning Levi Pinfold, The Ghost Leopard will take readers on a breathtaking Himalayan adventure like no other.
