In the latest volume of the popular Robert series, animal-lover Robert Dorfman's research on the clouded leopard for a school report introduces him to the animal rights movement. When he organizes a peaceful protest outside a local fur salon, he's shocked to see his beloved Grandma Judy wearing a fur coat. Can mutual understanding and trust help Robert and Grandma Judy help them find common ground in a very difficult situation?
