When his boss is mysteriously hurt, young gamekeeper Neil is left to look after the woods and pheasants on his own.

There have been rumours of a panther on the loose, and now Neil notices some odd scratch marks on the trees.

Is this message a warning? And will Neil take heed before it's too late?In the same style as the Shades 2.0 series, this book tells a fast-paced story but is much shorter than the Shades, allowing for less-able readers to still experience the gripping story but with much simpler language and a larger font.

The excitement of the Shades series is still there in these shortened versions of the dramatic, enticing stories.
