Summary: When a small plane bound for England from Manaus, Brazil, crashes in the Amazon rainforest, its four young passengers are stranded. Fred welcomes the opportunity to prove himself capable of surviving, like the explorers he admires, but his companions Constantia and Lila are terrified—and Lila’s five-year-old brother, Max, is especially vulnerable to the dangers around them. The small group works together out of necessity, but it’s far from easy as they encounter predators like piranhas and fight hunger by foraging for edible fruits and even bugs. But when Fred finds an old map, he and his companions have a direction at last—and renewed hope. On a handmade raft, they follow a river to the destination marked on the map…and find more than they could have ever imagined.
