The Jungle Can Be a Dangerous Place

Max and Sam are on their way to Africa. Actually the book opens in summer camp, where we get to learn a bit about Max and Sam and their friends, then they're late to the airport, miss their plane and have to fly standby. Their parents are working in a village, so Max and Sam are going to be doing a kids safari. During the safari, their guide, Ms. Sarah, is bitten by a black mamba, not a good thing. The boys, with the help of a wild elephant named Charger, get Ms. Sarah to the nearest village (you'll have to read the book to see how they do that). Then, on their way back to the other children, they hear an elephant cry in the jungle. They know they shouldn't but they go and investigate. Poachers have captured a baby elephant. Can Max and Sam save the calf? That's something else you'll have to find out by reading the book. This is another Max and Sam adventure that you can read to your child at bedtime . It would also be good for the beginning reader. There is more going on here than the story about their trip to Africa, there's the ongoing story about the journal they'd discovered in one of their previous adventures and the magic map they found with it and I guess I'm going to have to get the earlier books to understand what that's all about, so you see, you're not the only one who has to read more Max and Sam Adventures to find out what's going on.

Awesome books, lots of facts about animals and Africa

This book is very cleverly written to make kids love the story and at the same time cram lots of info. about animals and Africa in it. I learned a lot myself, right along with my eight-year-old.

Hats off to this super new educational series!

As a teacher, I love this new series, and especially this book. What a great way to explore Africa and learn about this interesting continent. The author writes in a fun and entertaining way, and at the same time, throws in educational material. This takes talent that I believe this author truly has.

Great adventure!

This book was cleverly written to really make the kids enjoy reading it and at the same time learn all kinds of stuff about Africa and animals. You can't go wrong with any of the books in this new series. My kids love the books.
