The Blurb On The Back:

Xtinct!


Jeevan can’t wait to hit the slopes. But his snowboard will have to wait because a mix-up at his mum’s lab has brought a dangerous SABRE-TOOTH TIGER back to life - and now it’s prowling around outside!

With a blizzard raging, a tiger on the loose and two hunters in hot pursuit, Jeevan needs to keep a cool head. Can he come up with a plan before things snowball out of control?

The Verdict:

The second in Ash Stone’s eco-friendly illustrated SF adventure series for readers aged 6+ has its heart in the right place and I liked the diversity of Jeevan and his mother. However the execution was pretty flat - as are the illustrations - while the antagonists of Smith and Jones struggle to be stock characters and the depiction of Toe left me a bit uncomfortable. Ultimately this just didn’t work for me and I wouldn’t rush to read on.

Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
