The white oryx-Bernard Smith

Synopsis

Mandy Brown is taking some photos of the oryx with Abdullah, who  is an oryx ranger. Mandy is going to write a book about the animals of Arabia, that is why she is taking some pictures. Suddenly, Abdullah hears a noise that comes from the radio. There´s a problem in Wadi Bidbia. Abdullah is near there, so he decides to go with Mandy to defend the oryx from poachers. Poachers shoot the oryx and they sell their heads, sometimes they catch young oryx and sell them. They see the tracks in the sand. After a while following them, they stop and find an oryx mother under the tree with a gigant blood stain and with a big hole in her neck, she´s dead. Mandy and Abdullah get in the car again and start following the poachers to help the young oryx that have them. The police is with their helicopter following them too. In that instant the track of the poachers disappears. Abdullah drives into some small trees and stops the car. One of the poachers shoots them but the police arrives with the helicopter in that moment. The police are with the poachers. Meanwhile Abdullah and Mandy are looking after the young oryx, checking if she is dead or not. She isn´t. Finally, Mandy is taking photos of the police arresting the poachers and of the oryx and Abdullah for her book.

Personal Opinion

It´s an emotional book, a little bit sad but with a happy ending, I recommend it a lot. It is easy to read and understand.
