Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Alexander Cold's mother falls ill, the fifteen-year-old is sent to stay with his eccentric grandmother in New York. A tough and prickly magazine reporter, Kate Cold takes Alex along with her on an expedition to the Amazon to verify the existence of the fierce, gigantic, legendary creature known as the Beast. Joining them on their adventure are a celebrated anthropologist; a local guide and his daughter, Nadia; a doctor; and a local entrepreneur. But not everyone's intentions are pure--and dangerous discoveries await Alex and Nadia as they embark, with the aid of a jungle shaman, on an epic journey into the realm of the mythical Beasts of the Amazon.

City of the Beasts is the first book in an extraordinary trilogy by Isabel Allende, one of the world's most acclaimed authors.

Synopsis:

Alexander Cold and his grandmother - a fearless reporter - are going to the Amazon rainforest to search for a fabled headhunting tribe and a legendary, marauding "Beast". Here they find out much, much more about the mysteries of the jungle and its inhabitants.

Synopsis:

From one of the world's top three bestselling writers, alongside John Grisham and Paolo Coelho. An ecological romance, and an Amazonian adventure story in one. "A magical storyteller" "Daily Mail". "Allende's writing is so vivid we hear the sounds, see the bright birds, smell and even taste the soft fruit" "The Times". A strong environmental theme - which should have appeal for a broad range of readers.
