Tereza invites Josh to spend vacation with her in a Amazon nature camp. Josh - at first reluctant - becomes super eager when he discovers that the best eclipse in years is also best viewed from the Amazon. So he goes busto to get himself to the Amazon - like work at a fish shop in Seattle to raise the money. Josh super hates fish. Well, the nature camp is cool but the loggers aren't. Someone is stealing endangered trees.Tereza is suspicius and so is an American science reporter they team up with. Before Tereza and Josh quite realize it - they've been kidnapped.

Cyber kids to the rescue ... but in a pretty neat and cool way. You see, the science reporter is out cold but she has some nifty equipment that gets Josh on the Internet from the ... Hey, I'm not going to tell you the whole story but it is one neat adventure.

I thought this Cyber.kdz book was better than all the Cyber.kdz books put together. In this one Josh and Tereza actually met each other. This one also has more action and adventure. This is the most exciting Cyber.kdz book. While traveling on the Amazon, Josh says he sees a smuggler's ship. Then him and Tereza go to police but the officer just gives them candy. So they see Marisa, a reporter that's coming to see the eclipse over the Amazon River. But then the smugglers catch them and throw them in a ship. To find out what happens read the book.

I may be a computer nerd, but this book is great! The Kids get to actually meet each other! I hope that the 6th one is good!
