Twelve year-old Dylan outwits his family and teachers to travel with his new friend Floyd from Wales to Brazil in a mad bid to rescue his dad’s farm from the grip of a global corporation.
The friends are soon separated and Dylan is lost in a poor area of Manaus. Lucia, a fiery homeless girl armed only with a tatty thesaurus and a Great Dane puppy, helps him in exchange for slang expressions she can’t find in her book. Each character is searching for something deep in the Amazon rainforest – but will they be in time, and will they ever get out?
