5.0 out of 5 stars It's About time!, April 19, 2003

By 

Dawn Walker "wife, mother, reader, writer" (Weatherford, OK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elephant Tears: MASK OF THE ELEPHANT (MacGregor Family) (Paperback)

As a librarian and mother, it is about time an author writes books for young adults that have nothing to do with [love making], drugs, or dysfunction. Mr. Trout brings world issues to the attention of young adults while appealing to their sense of adventure. This particular book uses the written word to describe an area that not a lot of young people have ever seen, and while they read the book, the images of Africa truly come alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readers will be on the edge of their seats, October 22, 2000

This review is from: Elephant Tears: MASK OF THE ELEPHANT (MacGregor Family) (Paperback)

Elephant Tears by Richard Trout released by LangMarc Publishing is the second book by this author. It is better than his first--if that it possible. This book will have the Young Adult audience begging to read more. The author's description of the African wilderness and wildlife is wonderful. The suspense he has added to it throughout the book made it a marvelous read. The MacGregor family adventures continued in this action book. I wondered how long it would take the three teenagers to get to safety. The intrigue of animal poachers, high tech equipment, and helicopters galore keep me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see where the next book takes this family of adventurers.
