Are you looking for a great book to read? You should read Danger on Panther Peak. This book is full of surprises and chapters that make you jump! It is about a city kid named Tom who just moved to the country and always gets in trouble by his sister. But when his grandpa says there's mountains nearby Tom takes to the mountains. But little does he know a panther is out there lurking around waiting for prey. He and his friend Justin like to play on the mountains but when he sees the panther three times he really gets scared. But it gets even worst grandpa gets hurt and mom and dad aren't home. The phone goes dead too! So now Tom has to make his way through the mountains to Justin's house. Can he make it? Will the panther come? Find out in this book. I really loved this book. Bill Wallas is an exciting writer. I loved it so much I read it 4 times! If you like outdoors and surprises than this is the book for you! Bill Wallas really pulls you into the book. So get up and read Bill Wallas's Danger on Panther Peak.

Tom first finds out about the panther when he is riding in the sled in the back of the pick up truck with his dad and grandpa. He sees that Sally, his family cow and her calf has been killed by the panther. That is the start of the action that you will find in Danger on Panther Peak. Some other things you will see are injuries, black fog, and family sickness. I would tell you more, but you've got to read to find out!
I loved this book! It was a heroic adventure story- Tom is a great main character. He's very brave for an 11 year old. There is a ton of action--you will definitely love it as much as I did. Go find this book at your public library and start reading it today!!! You will have a blast, I promise. :-)

this is a good book. thinking it would take me a month or longer i finshed this book ini day. toms parents aren't home and his granpa got hurt in a snow storm, now tom has to get help. the only problem is theres a killer panther on the loose, will tom and his horse make it though the panthers territory???

Being an Oklahoma boy, I grew up reading Bill Wallace... I must have been in the fourth grade the first time I read this book. I'm thrity four now and recently a group of us were talking about books we read as kids. Box car children, Old Yeller, Tom Sawyer, etc etc. But I read a lot of Bill Wallace. And I have to say I still have these books from when I was a kid. I knocked this book out in one afternoon and it still had that magical feeling as it did when I was a little kid... I highly recommend this book for any child age 7 - 12... Bill Wallace is a careful and unique writer....

This is a nice chapter book at a 3rd gade reading level. It is very high-enterest for even a 10 to 12 year old boy, who becomes overwhelmed with too high a reading level.

I read this with my 10 year old son and he found it very interesting. This is not a book for the iight at heart, who wants a book that is always happy. There are a couple dramatic scenes in the book, After all it does involve a black panther. The book is great for a nature loving boy, who loves to read about the wilderness and exploring.

Okay: here is my SPOILER: So stop reading if you don't want to now some of the main moments in the book. (this is for parents trying to decide if they want to purchase this book)

There is a 2 to 3 page fight scene in this book, when the main character happens across another boy who lives across the ridge. The fight scene discribes in detail(3rd grade reading level) the punches and falling, ect... then the boys get up and plan on meeting the next day and become friends.

The boys get in trouble and go places they are not allowed to , the one boy knows of a hidden pool in the mountain and they go swimming and have a great time, But they get in trouble and are grounded.

The boy has to save his grandfather, While his sister is sick in the hospital, And during a snow storm, the boy and grandfather are left in charge of the milking, A cow kicks the grandfather and breaks his hip. The boy has to go for help on his very pregnant horse, who ofcourse gives birth along the way, The panther comes to get the freshly born foal and the boy barely survives before shooting the panther.

Earlier in the book a cow is lost and they finally find her killed along with the calf she just had,

there are search parties formed to kill the Panther.

In all honesty, this really wouldn't be something I would read with a 2nd or 3rd grader, unless your child is really used to survival type stories. It is perfect for a 5th or 6th grader needing an easier read.

I bought this book for my son who isn't a big reader. But he liked this book. Actually, he like almost all Bill Wallace books, so apparently the author knows how to grab the attention of middle school boys.

I could not stop reading it!Danger on panther peak is about a child about 12 who must go through a blinding blizzard to get help for his grandfather. And if he gets through the blizzard he must face a panther to the death.Danger on panther peak is a no holds bar out of controll life against death man versus nature thriller

This is a great book book. I simply couldnt put it down. Tom's parents aren't home and his gramfather got injured in a snowstorm. Now Tom needs to go on the horse that he got for his birthday for help. The only problem is that a a killer panther is on the loose! Will tom and his horse make it though the panthers territory? Or will they get killed???

The book I feel is telling you that really anything can happen any time. And puts you in the place of that person. And yes it is an Action book.
