Publisher Description

The final installment of Isabel Allende's celebrated trilogy of the journeys of Jaguar and Eagle soars with radiant settings, spirits, beings, and the transformation of an extraordinary friendship, as Alexander and Nadia embark on mission in Kenya that begins as a search for elephants and ends up exposing a system of injustices.

Alexander Cold knows all too well his grandmother Kate is never far from an adventure. When International Geographic commissions her to write an article about the first elephant-led safaris in Africa, they head—with Nadia Santos and the magazine's photography crew—to the blazing, red plains of Kenya.

Days into the tour, a Catholic missionary approaches their camp in search of his companions who have mysteriously disappeared. Kate, Alexander, Nadia, and their team, agreeing to aid the rescue, enlist the help of a local pilot to lead them to the swampy forests of Ngoubé. There they discover a clan of Pygmies who unveil a harsh and surprising world of corruption, slavery, and poaching.

Alexander and Nadia, entrusting the magical strengths of Jaguar and Eagle, their totemic animal spirits, launch a spectacular and precarious struggle to restore freedom and return leadership to its rightful hands.

"This is a terrific audiobook! It's the 3rd book in a YA series with Blair Brown narrating and she's always great to listen to. Even as an adult, with 1000's of books under my belt, I still really enjoy well written intelligent YA books/audiobooks, if done well, and you can't go wrong with Isabel Allende. Listen to, or read, the first 2 books in this series first: 1) City of the Beasts, 2) Kingdom of the Golden Dragon, and 3) Forest of the Pygmies, although each can stand along well, it's nice to get the background of the characters by reading the others first.
