From Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner Katherine Rundell comes an exciting new novel about a group of kids who must survive in the Amazon after their plane crashes.

Fred, Con, Lila, and Max are on their way back to England from Manaus when the plane they're on crashes and the pilot dies upon landing. For days they survive alone, until Fred finds a map that leads them to a ruined city, and to a secret.

Critic reviews

"An exhilarating and sometimes harrowing old-fashioned adventure that comes beautifully, vibrantly alive on audio. Narrator Peter Noble is utterly convincing as Fred, Con, Lila, and, especially, 5-year-old Max.... Listeners will be riveted, breathless, until the very end." (AudioFile)

This is one of the best books I've read. With adventure and scare, this was very fun to read.

This is awsome

The narration was a bit uneven, seemed like Fred’s and the Explorer’s voices got mixed up at times. Felt like in some scenes more needed to be said to help the reader understand the dynamic that was happening. The story was good, full of action that kept it moving along. The Explorer was drawn with an inner-demon driven behavior that seemed too adult for a YA reader to understand; but in today’s world which is, IMHO, causing kids to grow up too fast, there is insight to be gleaned which could be helpful to some down the road. There was a good conclusion to the story.

Mostly good but what age group?
