Alexander Cold, a fifteen-year-old boy, travels to the Amazon with his grandmother Kate, a travel journalist, on an expedition in search of a legendary creature. There he meets Nadia Santos and an indigenous shaman; together they venture into the jungle, where reality and dream intertwine and the spirits of nature reveal ancestral secrets.

With its teenage protagonist and adventurous tone, it is especially suitable reading for young people.
