Himalayan Hostages
Thank you so much for coming to speak to us all. The students were enthralled, as was I! I have been reading your book with my own class and I was delighted by their gasps and giggles

Under a Himalayan Sky: A Story of Love, Loss and Learning to Live
What an incredibly moving memoir by a heroic mother (and family) to fight for the best future for their disabled son, David. Set against the exotic and beautifully portrayed backdrop of Nepal, this "slice of life" kept me enthralled through my rainy holiday (I was forced to stop reading, albeit temporarily, only by the plane landing back in the UK). I was moved to tears by the struggles Jane and her family endured but so filled with awe by her humility and bravery. A must read.

Madagascar Misadventure
Madagascar Misadventure is the fourth book in the series by Jane Wilson-Howarth featuring Alex and James adventures as they are travelling through Madagascar because their parents are wildlife activists. I have listened to the previous books as well.
I like hearing about all the wildlife in this book like lemurs and foosa and scorpions for example.
I like that James and Alex and Claude have a sense of humour and I like listening to them banter. Also I like how James and Alex care about each other even though they don't always get along.
I like that it is interesting hearing about the Madagascar culture and curses that they believe in.
The story is enjoyable and the characters face a lot of threat so this makes the reader want to know what happens next.
The recording was done well and is very clearly read.
