'I LOVE this incredible book. Anyone who enjoyed Eva Ibbotson’s ‘Journey to the River Sea’ or Katherine Rundell’s ‘The Explorer’ will LOVE the secret world opened up by this incredible adventure into the heart of the Amazon...' * Ed Vere (NYT best-selling author/illustrator) *
'The second thrilling voyage for the Unknown Adventurer.’ * The Oldie *

‘A book that bursts with wonder – this is a real treasure trove of information and adventure.' * Benedict Allen (Adventurer) *
'First in a new series of spin-off titles from the acclaimed The Lost Book of Adventure, fictional stories made to look like a scrap book, with smudged pages and handwritten text. Here, an Amazon adventure includes a strong environmental message and survival tips.’ -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller Previews *
‘Worth buying on the strength of its lush pencil illustrations alone, Journey to the Last River is a fascinating study of the flora and fauna of the Amazonian rainforest [...] the book brings natural history vividly to life’. * The Financial Times *
