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.
Frog
Himalayan Kidnap
This exciting adventure for children (and others) over the age of eight features two scruffy English boys and their fiesty no-nonsense Nepali friend Atti. The children have the huge challenge of rescuing the boys' parents from kidnappers and as they chase the grownups through the jungle, they encounter all kinds of dangerous animals - beautifully drawn by Betty Levene.

Himalayan Heist
This book transported me to Nepal, with great excitement and a window into the world of Nepali wildlife! I recommend it to anyone looking to be inspired, or taken on a cross-cultural journey from the comfort of your home. I especially recommend the audiobook, as the voices and background sounds add so wonderfully to the context of the story. Thank you, Jane, for such a fun and inviting read and listen.

Himalayan Hostages
What makes this adventure story unique is the author's first hand and in depth knowledge of the flora and fauna of Nepal. The descriptions of both are so vivid that you feel you are really there, with the two brothers, Alex and James, as they desperately follow the trail of their kidnapped parents, facing life-threatening danger along the way.
