Our Review

This gripping middle-grade adventure plunges readers deep into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where three sisters must rely on their wits and each other to survive after a plane crash strands them far from civilization. The narrative masterfully blends pulse-pounding survival action with a rich exploration of the jungle ecosystem, creating an immersive experience that feels both thrilling and educational. Young readers will be captivated by the authentic details of navigating treacherous rivers, identifying edible plants, and evading the jungle's hidden dangers.

What truly sets this story apart is its powerful focus on sisterhood and the unique strengths each girl brings to their harrowing situation, from practical wilderness skills to emotional resilience. The dynamic between the sisters feels genuine and relatable, offering a compelling look at family bonds under extreme pressure. This is the kind of page-turner that will have readers holding their breath through narrow escapes while subtly absorbing lessons about teamwork, courage, and the incredible biodiversity of our planet's rainforests.
