Forest of the Pygmies
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
The final installment of Isabel Allende's celebrated trilogy of the journeys of Jaguar and Eagle soars with radiant settings, spirits, beings, and the transformation of an extraordinary friendship, as Alexander and Nadia embark on mission in Kenya that begins as a search for elephants and ends up exposing a system of injustices.
Alexander Cold knows all too well his grandmother Kate is never far from an adventure. When International Geographic commissions her to write an article about the first elephant-led safaris in Africa, they head—with Nadia Santos and the magazine's photography crew—to the blazing, red plains of Kenya.
Days into the tour, a Catholic missionary approaches their camp in search of his companions who have mysteriously disappeared. Kate, Alexander, Nadia, and their team, agreeing to aid the rescue, enlist the help of a local pilot to lead them to the swampy forests of Ngoubé. There they discover a clan of Pygmies who unveil a harsh and surprising world of corruption, slavery, and poaching.
Alexander and Nadia, entrusting the magical strengths of Jaguar and Eagle, their totemic animal spirits, launch a spectacular and precarious struggle to restore freedom and return leadership to its rightful hands.

- content: The third installment in a trilogy for young adults stands on its own as a book about adventure and the complex relationships between peoples, cultures, animals, and the environment. Blair Brown is a strong guide for this adventure. Her storytelling powers bring to life the jungle, the animals, and the human characters. Her cool, even presentation of the extraordinary adds to its believability. Allende treats her young readers with respect for their intellect. Brown complements that respect by drawing out the suspense and drama with subtlety and giving a nuanced narration that will stimulate their imaginations. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
