Amazon Stranger (Reel Kids Adventures) [Paperback]

Dave Gustaveson (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Reel Kids Adventures

Jeff Caldwell couldn't imagine the obstacles thay had to face on the incredible journey into the Amazon. Would the terrifying danger of alligators, snakes, and dark jungle be too much? Would helping Dr. Jones ignite further the explosive anger of the Amazon stranger?

After months of planning for the dangerous adventure, Jeff and the "Reel Kids" find themselves in a heated battle for the land itself. Will the war with the greedy landowner spell doom to their assignment? Can they overcome attacks from the wicked shaman?

There's never a dull moment when the Reel Kids media club takes on swollen rivers, dense jungles, and rugged mountains to film the fascinating faces and places that need the gospel. Jeff, Mindy, and K.J. experience the heart of cultures around the world as they meet intriguing new friends on their action-packed global adventures.

Each well-researched, exciting story is set in a different country, so children (ages 9-14) not only experience a page-turning adventure but also learn about the people, culture, or history of the nation in which the story takes place. A meaningful series of missionary challenge for young readers who enjoy action!

This review is from: Amazon Stranger (Reel Kids Adventures) (Paperback)

i just love this book! the author always names the chapter something cool,
like "green mamba", and you dont hear anything about the green mamba until the end of the chapter. then you just HAVE to read the next chapter. I say this is a five star series!:)

This review is from: Amazon Stranger (Reel Kids Adventures) (Paperback)

I enjoy this book because all of the series are based on fact about the certain country which that certain book is based on. I prefer more action, though. I would say, on a scale from one to ten, I rate this 7. Through all my criticism, I still think this a must-read book. (Check out the rest of the series too!)
