About this listen

Sixteen-year-old Alex, his 12-year-old brother James, and their feisty friend Bim have a life-or-death mission. Ruthless armed thugs have captured two innocent wildlife conservationists: the boy's parents. Only the three children have time to engineer a rescue before the kidnappers reach their hideout high in the Himalayas. But saving them means crossing two high passes, negotiating terrifying crags, and fleeing from hungry predators. Surely they can't succeed?

Part Two of the Alex and James Wildlife Adventure in Nepal series

From a family member who is not able to post for themselves with their own account:

I listened to the audiobook version of this book.

This is the second book in the series. I have listened to the first and third books in the series.

I enjoyed hearing about how James and Alex met Bim. Bim is a Nepalese character and helps Alex and James save their parents.

I liked how the characters James and Alex are very mature and know so much and also are very brave. I like James’ character a lot more from reading this book than I did previously in the other books.

The story is set in Nepal. I found it very interesting how corrupt parts of the country were in the story that Alex and James could not get any help from the authorities for a lot of the story.

I enjoyed listening to the information about Nepal, its wildlife and culture. I found it interesting to learn about what mountain sickness is.

As with the other books in the series this book also comes with an accompanying pdf with pictures relating to the story which is great and the reading is great on the audiobook as well.

It is fast paced, easy to listen to and understand but also introduces the listener to possibly new places and themes which I personally have not read about outside of this series. I would recommend it.

Leaves me wanting to read more of these adventures

Another cliff-hanging tale of peril and collaboration between young adventurers set in the very beautiful Himalayas. Refreshing to have the addition of Bim - a good bit of feminine energy. Perfect narration and accompanying immersive foresty animal noises consistent with the first book. I like the common theme across these tales of getting to learn about the flora and fauna of Nepal too. Learning should always be this fun!! Thank you Jane, for another entertaining read!

I 'read' this as an audio book.

It didn't take long for the plot to be known, so I plunged into the adventure very quickly. The description of Nepal brought back memories of when I walked the Annapurna circuit.

Every now and then, there were little gems of knowledge which you only know if you have been in Nepal for a while. That was worth the 'read'.

Alex is very grown up and added a lot of excitement in the rescue plot. Perhaps James will start blossoming in the next book. Glad the rescue had a happy outcome.

Great story of how two boys tried to save their parents
