Threatened by Eliot Schrefer
This book takes place in Africa. It is about a boy named Luc, who's mom died a few years ago from the worm, owing a ton of money because of the hospital bill. His father left after his mom died, leaving Luc all alone as an orphan with Monsieur Tatagani and the other orphans who's parents owe a ton of money to the city. One day, a man comes by the orphan house and calls himself Prof offering Luc a mission that is to study chimpanzees in the dangerous jungle. Prof will give Monsieur Tatagani all the money Luc's mother owes, just so Luc joins him. Soon they head out to the jungle where Luc finds himself a new family, until that family gets under attack. This was a really good book that is a realistic fiction, survival type. It doesn't have any language, but a lot of violence, but that makes the book more realistic, dealing with all the problems that might come up living in the African jungle. I would recommend this book to anyone.

I also might read this because it has a good balance of action and story.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of reminds of the jungle book.
This is by the same author of Endangered; do you have to read them in any specific order? This sounds like a cool book. Nice review!
