Himalayan Kidnap
I'm enjoying the dialogue between the two boys and learning about the wild life of Nepal. A definite recommended read for all ages.
Madagascar Misadventure
Alex and James continue having adventures without their parents. It was fun to see the brothers continue to scrap between themselves. Jane obviously has a huge knowledge of this part of Madagascar and it shows with her wonderful descriptions of the fauna and flora. I can't help but wonder if she had been hit by deposits from animals and birds overhead from listening to her story. Great read, would highly recommend.
