Adventure is exciting. Missing lions, exciting. I like the comment about the school kids being outwitted by the criminal, which indeed makes sense if you think about it.

South Africa is an awe-inspiring setting, and I know young readers will enjoy the adventurous side of this story. And it's also an excellent way to teach them that we need to respect nature. Thank you for your review.

I will love it so much if, in actuality, the fleeing Lions were found. This is because the strategy which was deployed to find them will be very useful for our security personnel given the facts that most of the time when there is a jailbreak, and they are expected to go after the fleeing inmates, they end up not making any reasonable arrest. So, if the lions were actually found, then, the strategies deployed to find them will be a lesson note for them to take as they do their job.

I have never heard such an intriguing plot, with tigers involved. I believe I would love reading about this. This sounds a little bit like the Madagascar movie, yes I associated it with that just because of the lion, but it's my childhood favorite!!!

I really had an eye opener concerning the African wild life and the damage that people cause through poaching. Without ever feeling preachy or didactic, but with fascinating general details about the lions and their habitat, Du Preez weaves in."

In the first paragraph of Chapter One of “Justice of the Wild,” Michael du Preez paints a very good picture of the unpredictable weather patterns in South Africa. Dark clouds and impending storms help introduce the impending danger. A tree struck by lightning damages the surrounding fence, forcing lions to escape from the nearby Lion Park. As Emily_Jen's review mentions, this sets the scene for intrigue. It seems like an interesting read.

"Justice of the Wild" by Michael du Preez sounds like an action packed story with an intriguing premise. Interesting to read that the boys get caught by the poachers too, which creates a dynamic of both the animals and humans needing to escape from the same prison. Sounds like an adventure for the brave. Enjoy your reading. 🌷

This sounds like a thrilling YA adventure story set it South Africa. I especially appreciated the lion photographs included in the book when I read the sample on Amazon.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Exciting to read "Justice of the Wild by Michael du Preez." Im interested in finding out the answers to the questions asked in the review. I would like to find out where the lions ended up and how did Ranpha and his fellow student end up following their glimpse on the lions. An interesting read involving wild animals and the wardens.

The moment I started this I immediately thought, this has to be set in South Africa, and it is. This story is intriguing but I will definitely be reading it because it is set in South Africa.

This fictional story centers around the disappearance of a pride of lions that escaped from a park. I think it might appeal to teens or young adults who like stories about wildlife, poaching, mystery, and adventure. Sounds intriguing.
