The Last Panther

(3) 4-6 Kiri lives with her conservationist father in the jungle in a future world where most wild animals are extinct. When Kiri finds a panther and her three cubs, she embarks on a dangerous preservation mission to save them from both the coastal villagers and "wallers" living in walled-off cities, who disagree on how to treat the remaining animals. Kiri is a strong, multifaceted protagonist, and the environmental message is deftly handled.
