Stay off Panther Peak. When Tom and his family move to his grandfather's ranch, Grandpa warns Tom to stay away from Panther Peak, even though there hasn't been a panther in the area for decades. But when Tom sees a large, black creature in the mountains near their ranch, and something starts killing off their livestock, he has to wonder -- could Grandpa's tales about panthers be true? One winter morning Tom sees a dark shape move silently through the fog, spooking the animals in the barn. Later that day Tom and his grandfather are home alone when a blizzard hits and Grandpa is injured in an accident. With the phone lines dead, Tom must take his horse and ride for help -- by himself -- through the panther's territory. Can he reach safety in time to save his grandfather before the panther strikes again?

This is a nice chapter book at a 3rd gade reading level. It is very high-enterest for even a 10 to 12 year old boy, who becomes overwhelmed with too high a reading level.I read this with my 10 year old son and he found it very interesting. This is not a book for the iight at heart, who wants a book that is always happy. There are a couple dramatic scenes in the book, After all it does involve a black panther. The book is great for a nature loving boy, who loves to read about the wilderness and exploring.Okay: here is my SPOILER: So stop reading if you don't want to now some of the main moments in the book. (this is for parents trying to decide if they want to purchase this book)There is a 2 to 3 page fight scene in this book, when the main character happens across another boy who lives across the ridge. The fight scene discribes in detail(3rd grade reading level) the punches and falling, ect... then the boys get up and plan on meeting the next day and become friends.The boys get in trouble and go places they are not allowed to , the one boy knows of a hidden pool in the mountain and they go swimming and have a great time, But they get in trouble and are grounded.The boy has to save his grandfather, While his sister is sick in the hospital, And during a snow storm, the boy and grandfather are left in charge of the milking, A cow kicks the grandfather and breaks his hip. The boy has to go for help on his very pregnant horse, who ofcourse gives birth along the way, The panther comes to get the freshly born foal and the boy barely survives before shooting the panther.Earlier in the book a cow is lost and they finally find her killed along with the calf she just had,there are search parties formed to kill the Panther.In all honesty, this really wouldn't be something I would read with a 2nd or 3rd grader, unless your child is really used to survival type stories. It is perfect for a 5th or 6th grader needing an easier read.

Tom first finds out about the panther when he is riding in the sled in the back of the pick up truck with his dad and grandpa. He sees that Sally, his family cow and her calf has been killed by the panther. That is the start of the action that you will find in Danger on Panther Peak. Some other things you will see are injuries, black fog, and family sickness. I would tell you more, but you've got to read to find out! I loved this book! It was a heroic adventure story- Tom is a great main character. He's very brave for an 11 year old. There is a ton of action--you will definitely love it as much as I did. Go find this book at your public library and start reading it today!!! You will have a blast, I promise. :-)Samuel Whited

This is a wonderful book. I'm originally from the area where this book is set and I can tell you from experience this book shows juat what can be lurking around that you wouldn't expect. Mr. Wallace gives us an exciting page turner that I hate to put down even tho I'm way out of Jr high lol. If you like animals and the mountians and the wilderness you should read this book.

You should read “Danger on Panther Peak” because all sorts of twists and turns happen. It will make you never ever want to put the book down. You will definitely get hooked in the first chapter. This book is thoughtfully written out. I bet you will love this book. It has a secret place in Skeeter Hole that Justin finds and shows Tom. It has lots of suspension and will keep you reading. You will love this book. I like the part where Tom goes to Justin's house for some help with grandpa. Next something exciting happens but you will just have to find out. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspension. If you like any mysteries or adventures this book would be perfect for you. This book is amazing and will keep you on end!
