Himalayan Hideout
In this second of the Alex and James adventures the story begins with the boys and their parents imprisoned by Maoists in Nepal, in filthy conditions. As they are being moved to a remote hideout, the boys escape and, with their friend Bim, they try to follow their parents, hoping to free them. This is a journey fraught with danger not only from the angry Maoists but also from wild animals and hostile conditions. Wonderfully accurate black and while illustrations by Betty Levene bring the story (and the animals) to life for the reader.
Staying Healthy When You Travel
I haven't found another book that covers just about everything you're likely to encounter when travelling. There are occasions when there's no mobile signal. It's times like this when you realise that books will never be replaced! A must buy for the intrepid traveller!
