Jaguar

Jaguar When Jacob Lansa joined his father in Brazil, his biggest worry was whether Doc would let him stay or send him back to Poughkeepsie. But his father s expedition to create a jaguar preserve is beset with violence -- a massive explosion destroys their boat and Jake is viciously attacked before their journey even begins. Ahead is more danger. Before the voyage upriver is over, Jacob will witness first-hand the havoc man has wrought on a fragile environment, and come face-to-face with those who will stop at nothing to gain what they want. This is action-adventure at its finest -- a heart pounding, engrossing read with an ecological twist. Publisher: HarperCollins Author: Roland SmithAges: 7-10 Format: 256 pages, paperback
