By Jane Wilson-Howarth

When sixteen-year-old Alex’s parents ask him to deliver a mysterious package to their animal research camp in the Nepalese jungle, he and his twelve-year-old brother James do not have a clue about the trouble they are about to face. An unsuccessful ransom payment leads to an arduous journey through the crispy forests of the wild west of Nepal in pursuit of the terrorists who have captured their parents.

Even with the help of their friend Atti, how can three early fluency rescue the parents from armed kidnappers?

“Stunning descriptions of the flora and fauna of Nepal are subtly woven into this fast-moving story of two brothers on the trail of their kidnapped parents.” Rosemary Hayes, author of over 40 early fluency’s books

“A gripping and fast-paced adventure written by a biologist and traveller about luck, courage, and ultimately heroism. The exotic and sometimes dangerous Himalayan landscape is given to the reader with a total and vivid authenticity." Victor Watson, author (incl. Paradise Barn series)

Jane Introduces the Book: "There's a lot of poo, a lot of snot. I hope you enjoy it!"

I learned to SCUBA dive there and
