Stolen as a baby and taken in by a pack of street dogs, Mowgli grows up in the jungle of urban Mumbai. As he grows into a man, his life is threatened by the tiger Shere Khan. With the help of Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear, Mowgli learns that he must become the master of his own fate. Part of the Classics Here and Now series, Rob Hunter's stunning retelling brings Rudyard Kipling's tale for readers 4 to 8, and he depicts the action-packed scenes in rich shades of orange, purple, blue, and green.
