I thought we’d live here forever … but then, I thought Mum would be here forever too.
When Ruby’s dad uproots her from Australia so he can set up a hotel in the mountains of India, Ruby is devastated. She’s sure that India will never feel like home – everything is so different, she doesn’t speak the language and all her memories of her mum, who passed away, are back in Australia.
But when the wild leopards of the mountain are threatened by poachers, and Ruby is the only one who might be able to save them, she realizes that maybe she’s meant to be on this mountain after all…
