Sinopse

In City of Beasts , New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende explores the Amazon Rainforest in a gripping and thrilling adventure, educating and warning about the dangers that threaten the forest.

Alexander Cold is a 15-year-old boy who lives a quiet life with his family in California, until the day he is surprised by the news that, because of his mother's serious illness, he will have to go live with his paternal grandmother in New York.

As if that weren't enough, he'll have to travel with her on an expedition to the Amazon rainforest in search of a mysterious creature known as the Beast. Alex and Kate Cold will venture into dangerous woods accompanied by a team of researchers, a Brazilian guide, and their teenage daughter, Nádia.

Knowing the indigenous language and the ways of the forest, young Nádia soon becomes Alex's best friend. The two will be forced to live with constant danger, but in return, they will discover a surprising world filled with ancient wisdom, gods, supposedly extinct animals, and spirits that walk hand in hand with the living.

Alex and Nádia still don't know that their enemies are closer than they imagine and that they want to turn the forest into a highly profitable business, exploiting its soil in search of diamonds, trafficking weapons and drugs through the rivers, and decimating its natives with deadly diseases.

In The City of Beasts , the beginning of the trilogy The Adventures of the Eagle and the Jaguar, Alex and Nádia will travel through worlds where the boundary between dreams and reality becomes imperceptible, and from this adventure a true and lasting friendship will be born.

Isabel Allende, a New York Times bestseller and one of the most admired writers in the world, wrote The City of Beasts in 2002. Now with a new cover, this first children's book by the author warns of the danger our forests and our animals are facing.
