I found this book a bit confusing so I would reccomend it to 10 - 13 years old . My favourite character has got to be Maya as I think being able to summon fire balls is SUPER cool !

This book was about a boy called Raoul and a girl called Maya who both venture into the forests of Iquitos and go on a dangerous but rewarding adventure. My favourite character was Maya because she had a special power where she could create little balls of light which could cause fire. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories.
