Sam Fox is at a youth conference in Africa when the bus takes off without him, leaving him stranded. Within minutes he's attacked by an angry elephant and half-blinded by a spitting cobra.

Editorial Reviews In book six of the "Extreme Adventures" series, Justin D'Ath writes of a man-eating leopard that has killed five people in Western Tanzania. Sam Fox is fourteen years old visiting Africa on a youth conference that brings awareness to wildlife conservation. When Sam is separated from his tour bus within minutes he is attacked by an angry elephant and becomes half blind by a spitting cobra. Sam must navigate the wilderness to find his way back to the main road. Sam quickly learns that the road is not just for buses, it is shared by the wildlife of Africa. Sam goes head to head with obstacles such as poachers, scavengers and predators native to Africa. Along the way Sam befriends a shepherd who is willing to help him through the hills that are being threatened by the man-eating leopard. Will Sam and his friend make it to the nearest hospital to save Sam's eyesight? On this is wild, action-packed ride readers will feel like they are trying to outrun the man-eating leopard. This book is highly recommended for reluctant readers as the pace is fast and the sentences are short and not overly descriptive. Reviewer: Denise Hartzler
