Summary: Richard Trout has Done it Again!
Review: And I thought his first book, Cayman Gold was amazing! If you loved that book, you'll love this one just as much (maybe even better)! In Elephant Tears: Mask of the Elephant, the three MacGregor teens (Chris, Heather & Ryan), native Kikuyu and Samburu, and an American aviator, team up to save endangered animals and bring jusice to the criminals that endanger them. The book starts out with the three teens and a park ranger driving from Mombasa to the Tsavo National Park, when a Mamba gets in their car, the tire blows out, wild dogs chase them, and lions surround them! And that's just in the first chapter! Need I say more? The whole book is very exciting and adventurous. There is not one place in the book where you are tempted to put the book down and go to sleep!

Summary: It's About time!
Review: As a librarian and mother, it is about time an author writes books for young adults that have nothing to do with [love making], drugs, or dysfunction. Mr. Trout brings world issues to the attention of young adults while appealing to their sense of adventure. This particular book uses the written word to describe an area that not a lot of young people have ever seen, and while they read the book, the images of Africa truly come alive.

Summary: Readers will be on the edge of their seats
Review: Elephant Tears by Richard Trout released by LangMarc Publishing is the second book by this author. It is better than his first--if that it possible. This book will have the Young Adult audience begging to read more. The author's description of the African wilderness and wildlife is wonderful. The suspense he has added to it throughout the book made it a marvelous read. The MacGregor family adventures continued in this action book. I wondered how long it would take the three teenagers to get to safety. The intrigue of animal poachers, high tech equipment, and helicopters galore keep me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see where the next book takes this family of adventurers.

Summary: An eco-novel so easy to pick up, so hard to put down!
Review: Richard Trout's Elephant Tears: Mask Of The Elephant is a thriller adventure novel set in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, moves across the wild game parks of East Africa, and ends up at the seaport of exotic Mombasa, when the three MacGregor kids, their mother, and their zoologist father are in search over ivory poachers. Superbly researched and written, Elephant Tears is one of those infrequent novels for young readers that are so easy to pick up, and so hard to put down! Also highly recommended is Trout's first adventure novel featuring the MacGregors, Cayman Gold: Lost Treasure Of Devils Grotto.
