Description

Deep in the online marketplace rainforest, a legendary creature known as the 'Beast' is said to roam. For 15-year-old Alexander Cold, this is more than just a myth - it's a journey of discovery and wonder. When his mother falls ill, Alex is sent to live with his grandmother, a fearless reporter who's about to embark on an expedition of her own.

Joining his grandmother on her perilous journey, Alex meets a local guide and his daughter Nadia, with her wild, curly hair and skin the colour of honey. Together, they set out to find the fabled headhunting tribe and the 'Beast', but what they find is far more than they bargained for.

Isabel Allende's Amazonian adventure story is a rich tapestry of magic, spirit and adventure, full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. A novel that will appeal to all ages, it's a voyage of discovery that will take you deep into the heart of the online marketplace.
