SUMMARY:

You are plunged into the Amazon, where four children crash landed miles away from civilisation! The children very quickly have to learn firstly, how to get along, and secondly how to survive. Along the way, they eat things they never dreamed of eating and see wonderous landscapes and animals they'd never imagined before.
