In the province of Morona-Santiago, around the city of Macas, a legend has always been told about the dangers of behaving disrespectfully towards nature. It is a legend that comes from the Shuar people, who live in the jungle in the eastern Ecuadorian Amazon. Generally speaking, they are brave and proud of their traditions and of the fact that they are one of a handful of indigenous groups who managed to resist both the colonising missions of the Inca and the Spanish. The upper photo of the front cover is a genuine Shuar dwelling that was on the side of the road on the way from Puyo to Macas in Ecuador. The lower one is a view of the rainforest as taken from Macas. Of all the towns and cities I visited in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, Macas was my favourite.

Are you brave enough to join Yacumama, the Amazon's most humongous and powerful snake, on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Amazon Region in South America? You are? Fab! Then grab your camera, mosquito net and raincoat, and LET'S GO! You're gonna travel through thousands of years of history and culture (a lot of which not many grown-ups know about!). For example, did you know...? - There were once huge cities in the Amazon rainforest. - The Amazon is home to millions of different species of animals and plants. - The first city in Peru to get electric street lights was in the Amazon Region. - A Premier League footballer grew up in the Ecuadorian Amazon. If that's got your interest, then jump in the canoe and we'll get started straight away. We'll start with the Ice Age and go right the way through to modern times. Oh, and Yacumama promises not to bite you! She'll be on her best behaviour. Praise for The Mysterious Helpers: "really exciting" "a good yarn" "I believe everyone should read this beautiful story."
