T welve-year-old Adrianna Villalobos and her older brother, Feye, travel the globe with their parents, the hosts of a suspenseful nature show called Wild Survival! The show features daring animal rescues and the work the family does at their animal sanctuary. Her parents are using the show to help an old family friend who studies jaguars in Mexico. Daniela Corrales Gutiérrez has dedicated her life to studying these amazing big cats. She needs the family’s assistance to locate an injured jaguar—and help her improve her relationship with local ranchers. The task is huge and made more difficult by the constant threat of poachers. Adrianna is convinced that the poaching team they encountered in Cuba and Sri Lanka is here in Mexico now, too. Will anyone listen this time?
