Adventures in the Amazon Rainforest
Join the suspenseful adventures and misadventures of Mike, a child, whose missionary parents raised him among the Yanomamö people of Venezuela. In a culture that is so different from our own, Mike learns the ways of the rainforest and the people he came to love and understand. From encounters with piranhas (man eating fish), to little understood tribal beliefs, Mike entertains and enlightens his readers in dramatic fashion.
