"The gap between his feet and the fence around the lion enclosure was at least a metre wide. The drop was the height of five men. In the darkness, curving rolls of barbed wire shimmered along the top of the fence, each razor prong waiting to snag and incise. Sammy took a deep breath. He lifted his chin. Rain poured over his face, running into his eyes, blurring his vision. He blinked. Lightning split the sky ahead. The air fizzed and a billion drops were frozen like diamonds in the wintry sky. In the distance a sudden macabre silhouette: his mother, clinging crucifix-like to the wire, three lions reaching up with great sharp claws to drag her down.
Darkness. The thunder cracked like an explosion. He jumped."

This is a great book with an inspirational young hero who defies the
odds to do what is right in a variety of well executed scenarios. A
book I would recommend not only to young adults but to anyone wanting a
fast paced modern adventure punctuated throughout with intriguing and
interesting veterinary facts. I agree with the above reviewer and will
definitely be keeping my eye out for a sequel.
Highly recommended

The Last Ark is a brilliant read. I simply couldn't put it down. An action packed adventure with a twist in the tail that made me gasp aloud. Ideal for teenagers from 9 to 90! Can't wait for the next Sammy Twice adventure - this story begs a sequel.

Couldn't put this book down. From the first page there's drama and you
are always wondering what's going to happen next. I loved all the
animals and there are some really funny moments, but then it becomes
quite sinister and towards the end the tension really builds. It's
clever the way the beginning of the book links in with the ending and it
left me wanting more. Highly recommended read.
