Threatened
By Eliot Schrefer
Amazing book! Very emotional, and very heart-breaking, but very heart-warming. I loved Mango's character. She was so protective when (spoiler alert!) the National Geographic photographer came. I was so sad when Luc saw the leopard the last time. Anyway, here is the summary. Luc's mother died of a disease, and his father left and never came back. He starting living with Monsieur Tatagani, who was cruel to all the boys living with him. When a rich-looking man comes to the place Luc works at, Luc tries to rob him. Instead of turning him into the police, the professor offers him a job. Luc accepts it, and they set off into the jungle, looking for chimpanzees. Prof claims that Nat Geo. will come later on in the study. They see two groups of chimpanzees- one group consists of an extremely young female named Mango, an old one named Beggar, and a relatively young chimp named Drummer. The other group is a strong, big pack. Luc becomes very close with Mango, which angers Drummer. Drummer attacks Luc many times, but eventually they become close. Something terrible happens to Prof, and Luc is on his own. Drummer and Mango eventually get accepted into the bigger pack. Luc makes his own house, and realizes that he does have a family. WARNING: BE PREPARED TO CRY AND BE EXTREMELY TERRIFIED FOR THE INCREDIBLY SWEET CHARACTERS. Amazing book. Definitely better then Endangered, which is saying a lot.

This can great for six year olds and maybe even a little younger! It also has a great message inside of the heart of the story

I really liked this book. My teacher suggested it and i'm thankful for that. It has lots of twists and turns. It is about a girl who is struggling to fit in with her family and will do any to do so! I love this book!
