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. A young Masai tells Sam he needs medical attention – fast! But the only way to the hospital is through the Chui Hills. The same hills being terrorized by a ferocious, man-eating leopard…

Action has a new hero - Sam Fox! With a talent for attracting danger, Sam Fox is an expert at getting himself into (and out of) the most extreme situations. This series has a strong appeal with a courageous young hero and exotic settings and has non-stop action and short chapters which will engage reluctant readers.
From a parent:

I dare you to try pre-reading this book and be able to put it down after just one chapter.
