began early
I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

Madagascar Misadventure
Madagascar Misadventure is the fourth book in the series by Jane Wilson-Howarth featuring Alex and James adventures as they are travelling through Madagascar because their parents are wildlife activists. I have listened to the previous books as well.
I like hearing about all the wildlife in this book like lemurs and foosa and scorpions for example.
I like that James and Alex and Claude have a sense of humour and I like listening to them banter. Also I like how James and Alex care about each other even though they don't always get along.
I like that it is interesting hearing about the Madagascar culture and curses that they believe in.
The story is enjoyable and the characters face a lot of threat so this makes the reader want to know what happens next.
The recording was done well and is very clearly read.

50 Camels and She's Yours
An utterly fascinating compilation of stories from five women about their trials and challenges faced while travelling. Through laughter and tears and a couple of 'dog rocks' follow their journeys.
