This fascinating novel takes us into the jungles of Central America where we experience with a young boy the wonders of the natural world and encounter a host of wild creatures, including a black jaguar that the Maya regard as a spirit. Thanks to the boy's friendships with a local girl and an aging priest, he loses his fear of the jungle and instead comes to see it as a place of discovery and celebration. The author's description of the rainforest...is symphonic, says writer Brian Masters.This is a book to be cherished by young and older readers. Atkins is also the author of the novels The Midnight Tapestries and The Bay Road, both available on Amazon.
