Description
A search for the Beast, a Yeti-like creature within the
heart of the Amazon, becomes a quest for self-discovery in this young adult
coming-of-age story filled with international adventure, rich mythology, and
magical realism from globally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende.
Fifteen-year-old Alexander Cold has the chance to take the
trip of a lifetime. Parting from his family and ill mother, Alexander joins his
fearless grandmother, a magazine reporter for International Geographic, on an
expedition to the dangerous, remote world of the Amazon. Their mission, along
with the others on their team—including a celebrated anthropologist, a local
guide and his young daughter Nadia, and a doctor—is to document the legendary
Yeti of the Amazon known as the Beast.
Under the dense canopy of the jungle, Alexander is amazed to
discover much more than he could have imagined about the hidden worlds of the
rain forest. Drawing on the strength of the jaguar, the totemic animal
Alexander finds within himself, and the eagle, Nadia's spirit guide, both young
people are led by the invisible People of the Mist on a thrilling and
unforgettable journey to the ultimate discovery.
