Imprisoned in the Amazon rainforest and armed with only a pen knife, will Jake ever escape?
When a fishing trip goes wrong, twelve year old Jake finds himself alone and lost in the Amazon rainforest. Flesh-eating piranhas, infected wounds and attacks from vicious jungle creatures are the least of his worries - how is he going to ESCAPE?
Robin Hanbury-Tenison OBE, DL was recently described by the Spectator as the doyen of British explorers. Conservationist, broadcaster, film maker, author of over 20 books, lecturer, campaigner, farmer and, with his wife Louella, equestrian traveller par excellence, he is one of the few remaining British explorers who merits the name. He is a Gold Medallist of the Royal Geographical Society, a Founder and President of Survival International, the world’s leading organisation supporting tribal peoples. Named as the greatest explorer by the Sunday Times, he has been on over 30 expeditions, including leading the Royal Geographical Society’s largest expedition, taking 115 scientists to live for fifteen months in the interior of Borneo. This research and his book for adults, Mulu: the Rainforest, started the international concern for tropical rainforests.
