An appealing, elegantly designed introduction to another much-maligned species. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A fascinating, informative, and inclusive window into a feared and misunderstood species. -- Booklist (starred review) Montgomery shamelessly sells the spotted hyena as delightful and misunderstood, so animal-loving readers will be pleased to take up its cause. -- Neal Pollack, The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, STARRED Review The narrative unfolds with all the intrigue of a detective story...Photo-filled and perceptive. -- Publishers Weekly Another strong contribution to the Scientists in the Field series...a deeply detailed account of life in the field. -- Horn Book Magazine Because Montgomery and Bishop traveled together to do the research for the book, there is a remarkably personal feel throughout as they become part of the team and participate in all aspects of the work, from spotting to packing up gear, and even cradling a sedated hyena's head...A truly strong addition to the series and a worthwhile purchase for most libraries. -- School Library Journal
