The Plot: The story is about a group of kids (ranging from 5 years up to 12 years), who must survive in the Amazon after their plane crashes.Fred, Con, Lila, and Max are on their way back to England from Manaus (in Brazil) when the plane they are on crashes in the Amazon Rainforest 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 which changes their lives forever.

It is an amazing story with great vocabulary and language, which I really recommend for everyone to read (it would be amazing to read as a whole class). It builds up your imagination and has really helped me develop my writing further! I give this story 5 stars and strongly recommend it!
