Though this wasn't the best book in the series it was still pretty good. But like the first book it still took a little time to really get in to it. It is like the other books where Alexander and Nadia are travelling together but this time they go to Africa to search for the Forest of the Pygmies.
I hope that Isabel Allende will write some more teen books!
