  Sample blurb from Year 5/P6 novel  
 
You're now in one of the wildest places anywhere in the world

Anthony is spending the Christmas holidays on Fazenda Arara, deep in the Brazilian swampland.
It promises to be a holiday full of discovery and adventure. But little does he know that soon he will be drawn into a dangerous ring of secrets, suspicion and poaching. Will the poachers get away with their awful crimes, or will Anthony and Pedrinho outsmart them and save their beautiful alligator friends?
