This caught my eye in the Lima airport. It's Isabel Allende's first foray into "young adult" fiction, and it happens to be about the Amazon (where we were headed next). How could I resist?

I was a little disappointed. Some books in this age category stand up well to older readers, but this one tried too hard to make sure its messages were understood.
