‘A wounded mountain lion moves from his mountain habitat to a Papago Indian hut in Arizona’s Sonoran desert during a record-breaking July day.  All creation adapts to the blistering heat until a cloudburst causes a flash flood.  With a measured yet vivid style, this introduction to desert ecology makes a memorable impact." —SLJ.
