An enjoyable boy's own adventure for older children. Avery lives in Venezuela where his father is an engineer for an oil company. He and other 12 year old American boys get up to various adventures including a classic run in with a band of bad guys.
The book is clearly semi biographical, and for an adult reader it is thus enjoyable for the insight into life in Venezuela through the eyes of a child. The story itself is nothing very deep or meaningful, nor is it very complex, but will be enjoyed by the book's target audience (primary school age in the UK. That is up to about 5th grade in the US although Avery is a 6th grader I think).
I would be happy to read more from this author (although I don't see any other books he has written on Amazon).
