gold of the gods
by Bear Grylls
A very exciting book about survival , culture and courage.
There are three main characters Beck Granger , Christina and Marco.
Beck is a boy that lives with his Uncle Al. He lives with his Uncle because his parents died in a plane crash. Beck is very good at survival he pretty much knows as much as a grown man knows.
Christina and Marco are twin brother and sister from Colombia and their father is mayor Rafael.
Beck Granger , Marco and Christina are lost in a Colombian jungle with no GPS , no food but a tattered map and a strange amulet guiding their way.But Beck has his survival skills and if anyone can keep them alive Beck can.Beck has to try his hardest to not only keep Christina and Marco alive he has to try find his kidnapped uncle as well.
what I liked about Gold of the gods was all of the action in the jungle and I disliked all the talking at the start.
The themes of the book are survival , culture and courage.I think the author is trying to say to work hard to get to your goal because Beck had to do heaps of risky things.
I would recommend the book for ages 9-13 for both boy and girl and I think you would like this book if you're interested in adventure.
