Booktalk: In this chapter book, Isabelle’s family moves and she starts at a new school a few weeks before Christmas. When Isabelle and her family go to the zoo, she is the only one to catch a glimpse of the elusive snow leopard. She is fascinated by the animal and wants to learn all about it. One night, she wakes up to find herself in Mongolia, where snow leopards live. She meets a girl her age, and the two begin an exciting adventure to save a snow leopard and her two young cubs. But can the girls protect the beautiful cats from the hunters who are looking for them? Includes a glossary and additional material at the end of the book about Mongolia, its people, and their commitment to protect snow leopards.

Snippet: If I were still back at home, I’d be out caroling with my friends, too, Isabelle thought. She closed the front door and leaned against it with a sigh.
