Plot
Alexander and his grandma head into the rainforest.There he meets Nadia.After heading deep in the forest some mysterious things start to happen to everyone.

THE MOOD IS FUN AND LIVELY.WITH A BIT OF MYSTERY.

My favorite part is when Nadia must conquer her fears to climb the side of a waterfall.It shows her courage and determination.

I give this book a 9 out of 10.This is because it shows that with a little courage you can conquer any challenge you face.

I recommend this book for a more advanced reader because there are many complex layers you go through when reading this book.

Theme
I can connect to this book because like Alexander I have faced and overcome many problems.

"In the cage,a large was pacing with the crazed agitation of a wild beast in captivity.It was a black jaguar with a lustrous pelt and hypnotic topaz-colored eyes,one of the most handsome examples in the area."
