Mandy Brown is in the desert with Abdullah who is an oryx ranger, because she took some photos of oryx. And she is writing a book about the animals of Arabia. Suddenly the radio says that there’s a problem in that poachers appeared in Wadi Bidbid. They have a bad influence upon oryx. They find an oryx body under a tree. They look for the baby oryx that was carried off by the poachers. They find the poachers. But the poachers shoot at their car. And the poachers are coming back there. Suddenly there is a very a loud noise and they see a helicopter in front of them. In the end, they can protect the oryx from the poachers, and Mandy can take some very interesting pictures.

This story is good. My heart fluttered with excitement! the story was so exciting! I learned it is very important that we don’t give up. If they had given up on finding the baby oryx, they couldn’t have saved it. So I thought this book’s massage is 'Don’t give up.' The worst thing was that they couldn’t save an oryx. But they could save a baby oryx! It is the best. I recommend this book to other people, because this story is good. I want a lot of people to read this book and learn about the need to protect animals.
