Imagine you're totally lost in a strange city with no idea where you are and no way home. Now imagine that elephants and snake charmers start telling you that you've been chosen to save the world. Would you even believe them? What would you do? Zoe Guire isn't sure. Having that elephant talk to her was really weird, and, as a rule, Zoe doesn't do weird. Except the thing is, when Zoe goes along on her mom's business trip to India, things get very weird, very quickly. Soon after she arrives, Zoe finds herself tagging alongside a kid named Zak, lost in a crazy city, with no money and no way home. And those are the least of Zoe's troubles. Because if she's to believe the scary-looking snake charmer guy sitting in the corner, she and Zak have been chosen -- chosen to protect some kind of mythical animal called the Ghost Leopard from who knows what. Now, the further they get into the mountains, the more crazily impossible things get. Carpets fly and statues talk and if either Zoe or Zak want to make it back to their parents, or the sixth grade, or anything even close to normal, they're going to have to make some new friends, learn some new tricks, and listen, really listen to that talking elephant. Because if they don't, the world will never be the same again. Join Zoe and Zak as they journey high into the Himalayas to a place few have been and even fewer have returned to tell about it. Live life beyond the edge.

My Review:
This book gets 5 stars, it is also to read for Ya. Zoe is going with her mother to India where she soon finds out is Zak too, not really a friend of hers, she doesn't really like him.
Zoe notice weird things, a Elephant talks to her, she hears her name, people seem to know her.
When Zoe's mother and Zak's father have to go away fr a few days, Zoe and Zak go to investigate something and roll from one adventure in the other. They seem destine to safe the Ghost Leopard.
Fun adventure where you learn a thing or two about India and their "God's" too. Will they be discovered by their parents that they did not listen????? I won't tell go read it for yourself.
