In a nutshell: jungle adventures, jungle survival
Makur – Mak – star of Bear Gryll’s thoroughly entertaining story Spirit of the Jungle is back for a new adventure and it’s as gripping as the first. Mak is in India again and has met up with his friend Diya. They’re meant to be keeping out of trouble, but when a young elephant is taken from its herd by a cruel merchant the two decide to reunite it with its family. Soon they are on their own in the jungle and will need all their wits – and all their survival skills – to make it home. It’s a real page-turner and full of fascinating details about the jungle and its creatures as well as information on ways to survive it. ~ Andrea Reece
