Sandy the Sloth and the Danger of Diablo

Caio is a ten-year-old boy living in Guyana in South America. He loves soccer, his older brother Ricardo, and exploring the rainforest near where he lives. But most of all he loves his favorite animal: the two-toed sloth.

Sandy is just such a two-toed sloth, living in the forest near Caio. She’s been separated from her family, and sad, scared, and alone. But when she meets Caio, she begins to feel hopeful. He’s kind to her – not like the other humans she’s seen in the forest, trapping other creatures and taking them away from their homes.

Diablo is a panther, powerful and huge, and he will not rest until all the poachers are out of his jungle, his kingdom, his home. But he poses a threat to more than just the poachers… The whole forest quivers in fear before him.

Find out what happens to Sandy, Daiblo and Caio, and how their stories intertwine in the first book in David Otis’s new Sandy the Sloth series, Sandy the Sloth and the Danger of Diablo.

David's enthusiasm for writing was a lifelong desire just waiting to be realized following a successful career in business management. After a life-changing visit to Manaus, Brazil, several years ago, David developed an affection for the people of South America and the inhabitants of the Amazon Rainforest. With a passion for animal rescue, David and his wife, Deana, support pet adoption for orphaned and abandoned animals. Sandy is a two-toed sloth that the couple adopted from Guyana, South America, in the winter of 2014. David, Deana, and Sandy reside in North Texas.
