Product Information

Into the Jungle is a modern classic in the making, as Katherine Rundell creates charming and compelling origin stories for all Kipling's best-loved characters, from Baloo and Shere Khan to Kaa and Bagheera. As Mowgli travels through the Indian jungle, this brilliantly visual tale, which weaves each short story together into a wider whole, will make readers both laugh and cry.

The next day, the trio meets Karl in a shop while he is gathering supplies for the hike. All three men are surprised when Karl leaves with the supplies and tells them they will pay for everything. Who have been trying to find a mahogany grove for ages which will lead to deforestation and obliteration of the Tatinga tribe. This starts as a slow-paced novel, but gets more thrilling toward the end. It also gets more unrealistic as the story progresses. In addition to the adventure story, there are also moments of magical realism. I wasn’t expecting the magical realism element, but found it enjoyable. For the most part, I liked the story and was rooting for Lily to find her place in the jungle village.Meanwhile, Kevin is rescued by people from a nearby town who take him to Rurrenabaque, 120 miles from Yossi's location, Curiplaya. At Rurrenabaque, Kevin calls for the help of the local authorities to find Yossi. They fail to find Yossi via a plane flyover, but Kevin believes that Yossi is alive.

Ms. Ferencik has a new book coming out in March "The Girl In Ice", but you can read this one now*** Unputdownable! You'll want to put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door before you start reading this Heart-stopping, Powerful, Terrifying, 5★ thriller! When the gig falls through, world-weary Lily decides to stay in Bolivia when an intense passion finds her in the form she least Omar, a savvy, handsome local man who’d abandoned his life as a hunter in Ayachero—a remote jungle village—to try his hand at city life.

Much of the jungle we visit is untouched, primary rainforest. This dense canopy creates a lot of shade which is fantastic for collecting water, as the streams and rivers are refreshingly cool. Depending on where you are, you may have to drink warm water which is not exactly refreshing, so remind yourself to keep that water intake high. Even on rest days you should be consuming three to four litres (depending on your size) and more on active days. Ensure you take at least a couple of swigs from your bottle/bladder every hour.

Tip 4: Pack Light

Purifying drinking water significantly reduces the risk of water-borne illnesses. This is usually a two-step process:

The book begins with an extremely creepy and disturbing scene where an anaconda coils around her body as she lies in bed. I have never cared for scenes where an author introduces a sequence which turns out to be a dream. But is it? Later we learn that it may have been a manifestation of the mysticism inherent in native spiritualism which she experienced.And finally, never mix drinks! The ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in many electrolyte tablets neutralises the effects of chlorine or iodine, meaning your water isn’t safe to drink. For this reason, you should keep one container for the sole purpose of disinfecting water. After disinfection, pour it into your cup or flask and add your juice/electrolytes to that. Okay, this is a bit of a long one but it is important to understand. Like with any sustained physical activity, keeping hydrated is key. For the first few days in the heat, your body will be adjusting to the climate; you will sweat more and that sweat will have a high concentration of electrolytes. As your body adapts you’ll sweat less with a reduced concentration of electrolytes (it even tastes less salty). In any case, you need to be aware of your fluid intake to keep replenishing this loss. A good way to keep on top of this is to bring effervescent electrolyte tablets – have one in your morning drink and at least one more throughout the day. This book won't work for everyone because it is different from other thrillers and it is heavy on descriptive details. However, I enjoyed that it was unique and took me to a place I had never been before. While I know that I would never survive through what Lily experienced, I am glad that I was able to feel like I was beside Lily as she learned to survive and become a part of the jungle.

My nineteen-year-old self may have found Lily’s story terribly romantic and signed up for the trip. But even living in the land of Oz, were apparently every creature is set to kill you, I could not envisage surviving long in those conditions – and at my age I prefer my own creature comforts too much to envy Lily her great adventure. With good reason, as you will find out when you read this book. To be able to explore untouched and unparalleled jungle ecosystems is a unique privilege as a human being. Most have remained fundamentally unchanged since the era of dinosaurs. They are a time capsule of another world. The only other ecosystem that can compete for species richness is the coral reef. Life of all imagined variety abounds here – in the rivers and streams, from the forest floor to the highest branches on the tallest trees – there is no other place on this planet where life is so varied, and in such abundance. There are more plant species on the jungle island of Borneo than on the whole continent of Africa. There are thirteen species of primate and so many endemic species of insect and amphibian, and new species are discovered and described in scientific journals on a weekly basis. It is nature’s greatest feat – its magnum opus – so take time to take it all in. It will be one of the most memorable experiences you will ever have. Lily seems to tumble into a bed of hot coals and unacceptance by the other women in the village. She's viewed as Princess America by the others who don't have the time nor the energy to help her acclimate to jungle life. The bottom falls out when Omar must accompany the other men in a hunt for the panther and our Lily must stay behind and somehow survive what's in the village and what's lurking in the jungle.

Look down / Are you surrounded by ants, leeches, or other critters? Carefully sweep away some of the leaf litter so you have a clear area beneath your feet; most insects and small animals are deterred from travelling across open ground. Lily Bushwold thought she’d found the antidote to endless foster care and group a teaching job in Bolivia. As soon as she could steal enough cash for the plane, she was on it. Lily had her fairy tale notions about what life in the jungle would be like, even though Omar did his best to dispel them. I love the way Ferencik writes about the jungle and its web of life, a balance of things eating and being eaten. Everything she writes feels credible. Some people may have qualms about a telepathic communication between some of the characters known as ‘shine’ but for me, it fit right into the story. A major character in this novel, the jungle never plays favorites. Omar tells Lily “you stay alive here because you paid attention.” And sometimes even that isn’t enough. a b c d e Galuppo, Mia (21 March 2016).
