Review of advance copy received from Author
I was so excited to read this book after devouring The Girl Who Raced the World last year, and it absolutely didn’t disappoint!
The story picks up where the last one left off, but honestly, I don’t think you need to have read the first book to enjoy this one. The previous story is referenced enough to give you the background, but this time Maggie and her friends are off on a new adventure in Brazil, searching for Amelia West, a missing artist. Along the way, they overcome all sorts of obstacles and uncover a plot which is motivated by greed. I was so happy to be back in Maggie’s world, reading this book was like a giant hug even when the action ramped up and things got tense!
One of the things I love about Nat Harrison’s books is her fantastic female characters, who are intelligent, feisty, empathetic and fiercely loyal. Combine that with her wonderfully descriptive writing, which brings the sights, sounds and smells of the jungle to life so vividly that you can almost imagine yourself there, and you have a story that’s a real pleasure to get lost in. I also loved her descriptions of the local food which really added to the sense of place, so bring snacks, trust me you’re going to get hungry!
Highly recommend this one if you’re looking for a fast-paced, addictive adventure. I was completely swept up in the story and honestly couldn’t put it down!
