Brazilian Gold Mine Mystery

The moment Biff Brewster reads the warning letter from Mr. Stannard, he knows his father's secret expedition to Brazil is more dangerous than anyone admits. Thomas Brewster isn't hunting rubber in the Amazon as the family believes. He's hunting something far more precious: the legendary El Dorado, the lost city of gold. When Biff arrives in Manaus, the jungle heat hits him like a wall, and so does the first sign of trouble. A thief in their hotel room, eyes hungry and hands quick. Someone knows they're here. Someone else wants what they're looking for. Nicholas Serbot is shadowing their every move through the rainforest, a sinister figure who may reach the treasure first. Biff must grow up fast, learning to trust his instincts and his father in equal measure, because in the depths of the Amazon, one wrong step means vanishing forever into the green. This is old-school adventure fiction at its purest: a boy proving himself in a dangerous world, with gold hanging in the balance and enemies closing in.
