Reseñas de la Crítica

Neither hyping nor downplaying the poachers' cruelty, Markle's clear, matter-of-fact text presents well-researched facts in an organized way and asks readers what 'one thing you would like to be able to add to this timeline in the future.' The book's large format provides plenty of space for the many clear, well-captioned color photos. An informative volume explaining an ongoing conservation crisis." (Booklist)

"From the beginning scene to informative sections that expertly explain what a dire situation poaching has become for the rhinos, readers will be informed and enthralled throughout the fact-filled narrative." (School Library Journal)

"Another compelling, hopeful account of ecosystem defense." (Kirkus Reviews)
