by Anna Myers (Author)
A leopard is loose on Papa's land... H.J. Harper would do anything for his older sister, Jessie. But what can he do, when she wants to become a veterinarian and their father won't send her to college? Jessie is trapped, just like the leopard H.J. saw in the Oklahoma City Zoo. Then the leopard escapes. As it slowly makes its way toward the Harper fields, H.J. comes up with an idea to save the leopard and help Jessie fulfill her dream. But will it work? "Myers has created another bittersweet tale that celebrates average people and the courage they muster to follow their hearts." - Kirkus Reviews
