Samuel Miles, a.k.a Smiler, and a cheetah named "Yarra" are running away. Smiler was running away from his reform school, while Yarra escape a zoo. At first place they need a shelter and they both accidentally find the same place to stay. The rest of the book tells how Smiler and Yarra are trying survive. However, Yarra meet her unfortunate end of life. This add more trouble to Smiler, because he is now have to take care of the young cubs she have while maintaining the anonymity of his I.D. The end of it? I'll let you find out for yourself.

This book tells us that life is not easy out there, even for kids. It teaches us to think critically at all times, and not to panic even if the condition is not very good at all. Also, the book teaches us to love all kinds of animals since they are also a living being.

It was a nightmare to read this book. The premise of a boy meeting a cheetah seems interesting but the book makes it the most boring story ever. First it is so slow; you read chapters and chapters and nothing happens. The boy escapes and runs and them sees a tree and then another tree and so on. Then he meets the cheetah but the rhythm never picks up or the story goes anywhere. I read this book in class and everyone including the teacher shared the same opinion. This is a terrible book. Parents: if you want to buy this book as a present don't! You will only push your kids to the Playstation.
