It's a great Middle grade book! It definitely feels very adventurous. It's quite refreshing to see in how many realistic scenarios, and they can be quite dangerous, these characters find themselves.
I really liked the writing style and the story itself. The characters were loveable, but I didn't feel connected to them at all. Overall: it was a good book.
This is a fantastic adventure story about four children that have to learn to survive in the jungle after their plane crashes.
I really enjoyed this. It's an adventure story, but it also has themes that make you think. I loved these characters. I listened to some of it and the narrator is fantastic. I especially liked his voice for Max.
If you like middle grade, give this one a shot.
Whenever I finish a book and it leaves me with THAT feeling, I know I've stumbled on something great. The characters are well drawn out and the ending is satisfying, even though I did want to get to know them even more.
