Mammoth Rider

About this book

Being born and raised in Greenland, at the Arctic research centre responsible for bringing woolly mammoths back from extinction, tends to influence your ambitions. And all Ash Grimes has ever wanted to do is become a mammoth rider like her dad. 

It’s 20 years since mammoths were brought back through advanced cloning technology and they have mostly been left alone by everyone except the researchers. But, when a rare white calf is born, it attracts the attention of poachers and trophy hunters. 

It seems someone inside the research facility is leaking information that could put the whole mammoth project in danger and when a disastrous act of sabotage causes chaos, Ash and her friends must use all their mammoth knowledge and skills to save the herds, their families and the future of the planet. 

Being based on genuine scientific research into the possibility of cloning mammoths, and their potential in reducing the release of excess greenhouse gases from melting permafrost, adds authenticity to this thrilling race-against-time adventure. 

The fact that both the author and main protagonist are dyslexic has made accessibility a priority for the publisher and Ash’s story is presented in a large, easy-to-read font with generous spacing.
