Evie in the Jungle by Matt Haig
3.0
Cute little story about a girl with the power to talk to animals who travels to the Amazon rainforest with her father. Once there, she tries to save the animals and their habitat.
There are lots of environmental facts in this very brief story, meaning it would be very educational as well as entertaining. I thought that the progression of the story was possibly too swift, wanting to cover a lot of ground within its short length. As a result, it was harder to connect with the characters and see it in another way than a very pleasantly packaged infodump in book form. I am, however, it has to be said, not within the target age group for reading this story.
