superb narration. unforgettable adventure
originally found this title for my 7 year old who loves audiobooks the similarities to the story of the Secret Garden with an orphan girl finding a new world and making friends with boys maybe becoming interested in them etc however it was wonderful to have it set in the Amazon and I feel was very authentic for when it was set however it wasn't in an old-fashioned style at all I'm very interested in hearing other books by the author. additionally the narrator who I've not heard before it was absolutely superb she could do all different accents male-female boys girls etc I listened at 1.0 speed which is unusual for me. I'd like to hear more books by the narrator. although I find it odd that many books only have one narrator I enjoy probably more listening to audiobooks with different narrators playing the different characters

upbeat children's tale that will make adults smile
Looking for a fun children's adventure story that isn't filled with gloom, hardship and adult levels of tragedy? then this is the book for you. Highly entertaining with great characterizations and unexpected plot twists. Refreshing also to see the old fashioned notions of British imperialism and class system mocked in a subversive and yet thoroughly good humoured way. There are plenty of laughs for adults here too.

A perfect Adventure story
I have enjoyed this story so much that I want to listen to it again! I highly recommend this to all children over 9 as it is a perfect Amazonian adventure, which will transport the reader along the river and into the mysterious yet fascinating rainforests of Brazil. The characters are great and what happens to each one of them will keep you thoroughly entertained.
