in their first exhilarating adventure!

The Patels – Rohan, Anu, Gina and their cousin, Nimal (two boys and two girls ranging in age from 8 to 14) – live on a wildlife conservation centre in North India. Travelling home by train for the summer holidays, the children not only acquire a new addition to their family – Hunter the dog – but also meet Peter Collins, a young detective, who grew up on the Patiyak Wildlife Conservation Centre (PWCC) with them. Peter has been assigned to their conservation to deal with the problem of peacocks being killed for their feathers – peacock feathers can be sold at exorbitant prices! Angry and upset, the youngsters assure Peter they will assist him, to the best of their ability, in saving the birds. While making plans to save the peacocks, the Patels decide to form a group called the Junior Environmentalists and Conservationists (the JEACs), and invite young people, who want to protect animals and save the planet from further destruction, to join up. Upon reaching home, the JEACs set off on their investigation to discover the crooks and bring them to justice.

Amelia Lionheart has been writing for many years and is the published author of four books for children. She has a diploma in writing from the Institute of Children’s Literature, Connecticut, USA.

Amelia, who has lived and worked in several countries, believes very strongly in the conservation of wildlife and, in particular, the protection of endangered species. She is convinced that awareness of this issue, when imbued in children at an early age, is a vital step towards saving our planet.

As a member of several nature/wildlife preservation organizations, including the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, she invites children and their families to become involved with local zoos and conservation centres and to support their important work, both by creating awareness and fundraising. To encourage this, she created a group called the Junior Environmentalists and Conservationists (JEACs) in the first book of her JEACs’ series, Peacock Feathers. In the other books, the JEACs travel to various countries, having adventures while enlarging their group and encouraging local children to start groups of JEACs in their own countries.
As of November 2013, Amelia has four real groups of JEACs in Canada. The JEACs continue to evolve.

Amelia’s other interests include environmental issues, volunteer work and fundraising. She believes that if people from different countries explore the diversity of cultures and learn from one another, they will discover that they have more similarities than dissimilarities. Many of these ideas are included in her books.
