Description: When his grandfather is injured, a young boy must go get help even though there is a panther prowling in the neighborhood. There hadn't been a panther on Panther Peak in decades. But the year the Burkes move to their grandfather's ranch, something begins killing off the livestock. Tom shudders. Could his grandfather's tales about panthers be true? Then one winter morning, Tom sees a dark shape move silently through the fog, spooking the animals in the barn. Later that day, a blizzard hits and Tom's grandfather is injured in an accident. With the phone lines dead, Tom must take his horse and ride for help-- by himself-- through the panther's territory. Can he reach safety in time to save his grandfather before the panther strikes one more time?
