ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A search for the Beast, a Yeti-like creature within the heart
of the Amazon, becomes a quest for self-discovery in this young adult
coming-of-age story filled with international adventure, rich mythology, and
magical realism from globally celebrated novelist Isabel Allende.

Fifteen-year-old Alexander Cold has the chance to take the trip of a
lifetime. Parting from his family and ill mother, Alexander joins his
fearless grandmother, a magazine reporter for International Geographic, on an
expedition to the dangerous, remote world of the Amazon. Their mission, along
with the others on their team-including a celebrated anthropologist, a local
guide and his young daughter Nadia, and a doctor-is to document the legendary
Yeti of the Amazon known as the Beast.

Under the dense canopy of the jungle, Alexander is amazed to discover much
more than he could have imagined about the hidden worlds of the rain forest.
Drawing on the strength of the jaguar, the totemic animal Alexander finds
within himself, and the eagle, Nadia’s spirit guide, both young people are
led by the invisible People of the Mist on a thrilling and unforgettable
journey to the ultimate discovery.
