The Twins Confront a Jaguar: Los Gemelos se Enfrentan a un Jaguar

Ten-year-old twins in the Amazon Jungle, one observant and cautious, the other bold and

courageous, spot a jaguar. Is it a friend or a foe? They ask for hunting advice then daringly go

off on their own. Can they provide for themselves? Adjust to new situations? Guard themselves

when danger threatens?

The exotic setting is real. The story is based on a campfire legend told by the native Quechua

Indians along the Napo River in Ecuador to encourage children to be attentive and brave.

Values of individual differences, working together, family compassion and preserving the

environment are mixed with two suspenseful jaguar encounters and an explosive trick the twins

play on their doting mother. Life’s challenges exist in the modern world as well as in primitive jungles.

Feel a tremor of fear and the electricity of coping as you walk with the Amazon Twins and

Confront a Jaguar!
