Madagascar Misadventure

This absorbing adventure is accurately set among roads less travelled. Of critters best avoided, strange cultures, contraband, imminent death and endless caves. Whatever your age, the book is an easy listen. Put Madagascar on your bucket list.

Himalayan Hideout

The adventures of Alex and James continue on as they brave hunger and every kind of wildlife in Nepal in order to rescue their kidnapped conservationist parents. Young readers are introduced to Nepal's past, a time when real-life kidnappings of conservationists occurred. Not only will readers learn about the history of Nepal and the rich wildlife and foods there, they will be reminded of the grit it takes to stand up for what one believes. Beautifully told and illustrated, a real treat!

Himalayan Kidnap

The perfect blend of nature's beauty and also it's brutality. Fascinating adventure story interspersed with lots of fart and poo jokes which keeps the tenser moments lighter, Gorgeous jungle sound effects accompany the voice of the narrator/author, who does a great job of putting one in the mind of a teenage lad. I learned a lot about animals and fauna of the jungle which was a pleasant bonus. As for the storyline, even before you get to the pinnacle threat of humans, it's one hazard to the next along the way; from leopards to near-drowning, to ghosts and cave rescues. And even sunbathing with crocodiles! 
Make-shift jungle medicine, Friends and foes. This book has it all! Really enjoyed going on the journey with the boys. Need to read the next one now...
