( Feb. 28, 2020)
Once again, Jim Kjelgaard, the master teller of adventure tales, gives to the many admiring boys—and girls, too—who count him tops, a story of courage against difficult and very different odds, shown by a vital and real young hero. And, of course, there are many characterful assorted animals, both tame and wild, to add excitement and humor and gentleness to the action.
Pepe, the youthful Mexican goatherd, had many battles to fight—against the ominous superstitions of Uncle Ruiz; in defense of his American friend, Sam; and hardest of all, against the killer tigre or jaguar which had taken the life of Pepe's father and threatened to destroy the family herd of goats, their very livelihood.
In the Mexican wilds, Pepe found that a staunch friend and inherent courage may mean more than a costly rifle, even in meeting the vicious fury of a wounded tigre!
