The Amazon Explorer

A novel about the value of friendship starring children lost in the Amazon rainforest.

From his seat in a six-seater plane, Fred watches as the mysteries of the Amazon rainforest pass beneath his feet. He has always dreamed of becoming an explorer, making history, and reading his name as one of the great discoverers of his time, so he wishes he could land and set foot on the ground, even if only for a minute.

When the plane crashes due to an accident, Fred will finally be able to walk through the jungle, but not under the conditions he had imagined. Lila, Max, and Contia, three other child survivors, have no hope of being rescued from this immense and untamed place where the chances of returning home are reduced to the barest minimum.
