Madagascar Misadventure

This is like meeting up with old friends. Alex and James are the same banterous and mischievous selves. This time they are in Madagascar travelling with the very forthright Claude-Michelle who sometimes guides the English brothers and often takes them in hand.
The three children have numerous adventures, getting lost in caves and threatened by the wildlife, but also when they stumble across evil men involved in wildlife trafficking who will stop at nothing to silence the children.
It is great that this book is available for Kindle readers as well as on Audible.
This is one of four Alex and James wildlife adventures.

Snowfed Waters

Written in controlled prose, Jane Wilson-Howarth's Snowfed Waters, the novel where Sonia Swayne's sojourn in Nepal is brought to life, is a remarkable example of culturespeak, the trajectories showing along familiar and the untrodden routes.

Himalayan Hideout

The author has done another good job of giving us an intriguing plot with twists and turns while providing glimpses into the life, culture and scenery of the Himalayas. This should appeal to young adults and adults (read advanced teen readers and beyond). The author again proved she’s in the relatively small circle of authors who can provide a respectable performance of her own work.

Himalayan Heist

At first I was attracted to this book by the beautiful cover and the fact that Nepal sounded interesting. When I received the book I was impressed with the quality of the paper and good, clear print. It is unusual to have photos and this really added to my enjoyment. The character of each child is shown clearly by how they react to their situation and each time I came to the end of a chapter, I wanted to carry on for another. I haven't read a novel set in Nepal before and by the end, not only had I enjoyed their adventure, but I knew more about the people, animals and plants in this country.
