The Leopard Behind the Moon
The setting of this story is lush Africa. Ezomo, the main character, is thought of as useless by his village. His father has recently died and a leopard is the perpetrator. Ezomo and his two loyal friends are searching for the leopard to kill it, but instead they find some magical leaves that may be able to give Ezomo and his friends what they most desire.
The author takes the reader into the African scenery in an adventure story with a hint of magical realism. This book is recommended for 4th -8th graders.
