Nestor Eguez is anElectronic Engineer from Uruguay, South America. Thirty years ago, he and his family immigrated to the USA in search of a better life. From there, he worked as a Technology Instructor at vocational and adult schools. One day, while helping his children with a script for a school puppet play, this story was born.The short tale was supposed to be performed in a school theatre, for an audience of teenagers, teachers and a few parents. Instead, after a long, bumpy road, it is close to touching millions around the world today.
This is the story of Kalima, a young zebra born in a corner of the jungles in Kenya. She is the last descendant of a very special breed called The Guides, well known as protectors of the herd, and always staying alert. She has recently been made an orphan due to a lion attack that killed off her mom. Her grandmother becomes her caretaker, as she is an old and wise zebra who holds great knowledge. Kalima loves flowers, chasing butterflies and playing with her friend Norba, the youngest member of the elephant pack. But as one of 'The Guides,' she is soon going to receive a big responsibility and keep a very important secret hidden in the jungle. Unfortunately, looks like she doesn’t have a clue about it. The first of a trilogy, this Fantasy YA book ingeniously explores humanity's perception of its respect for nature and animal rights.

I was fortunate to have been given a copy of this wonderful book by the author,
and I must say I am delighted to review it here.
It is a wonderfully and creatively told story that would make a beautiful Christmas present,
or any present for a child, a child of any age, for the child in me loved this book.
The character Kalima comes alive off the page, and you can't help but fall in love.
And fall in love you will when you pick up this absolutely delightful book.
Can't wait for the next from the very talented Nestor Equez.
