Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1996 | Age Level: 8 and up

The hunt is on...and the Hardy Boys could end up being dead meat!

Frank and Joe's latest case could give new meaning to the words "eat hardy"! A rare and beautiful snow leopard, a gift from Princess Salamaji of Rashipah, has disappeared from the Bayport Zoo, and the boys suspect foul play. Their suspicions are confirmed when the Princess herself vanishes...a victim of kidnapping!

Their investigation leads them into a sinister world of jaws and claws, lions and tigers and snakes. But the most dangerous animal of all is the human kind, and the Hardys are headed straight into an ambush. The only way to save the Princess -- and themselves -- is to observe the law of the jungle: beat the hunter at his own game!

This review is from: The Search for the Snow Leopard (The Hardy Boys #139) (Paperback)

What's the cutest animal in the zoo? Well, it's the snow leopard! It's almost extinct because its coat is so valuable, and one is missing from the zoo and so was the princess who donated her!

When Frank and Joe were walking in the zoo, they got an important clue when they saw the elephant with another little elephant. They believed that it was the same kidnapper who had both the princess and the snow leopard. How this was a clue, you'll have to read the book to find out!

I liked this book because it was scary and cool. I like scary Hardy Boys books. Right at the last moment, it's thrilling when you think the Hardy Boys might die, but they don't. When I'm reading a Hardy Boys book, I can't stop reading it!
