The Tigeropolis Series
The Tigeropolis series is a fun way of engaging children (8-12) with issues around the importance of protecting the environment. The books follow the activities of a family of vegetarian tigers living in the foothills of the Himalayas as they battle against a variety of challenges and try to save their forest home from the bulldozers.
The series is based on the author’s experiences in India and his long term involvement with wildlife conservation.
Beyond The Deep Forest – Book 1
An idyllic life is under threat when the tigers discover their forest is for the chop. It’s been their home for as long as anyone can remember. Faced with such a threat they have to use all their ingenuity to find a way to save their beloved Tigeropolis.
The Grand Opening – Book 2
The news that tigers have ‘returned’ to Tigeropolis has saved the Park from closure. Much still needs to be done if Tigeropolis is to be a success as a thriving tiger reserve.
Bittu and Matti are full of enthusiasm for the tasks ahead but things are a bit more complicated and the Maharaja has some old scores to settle.
Caught in the Trap – Book 3
Whilst Tigeropolis may have been saved, other more worrying dangers lurk around every corner. In Book 3, Bittu, Matti, Tala and Uncle Raj come face to face with a gang of international poachers.
Caught in the Trap is published in Late Spring 2017.
