Description

Amazon and her cousin Frazer are members of Tracks. Normally they protect the world's rarest animals, but their mission just got personal. Amazon's parents have been kidnapped - and the trail leads to the buzzing city of Mumbai, India. Meanwhile reports reach the Tracks HQ that a giant and very rare python has been spotted high in the foothills of the Himalayas and it needs help. Frazer must leave Amazon to rescue the snake while she continues the search for her parents. But it won't be long before Amazon and Frazer are reunited, because out in the unknown a long-forgotten and ruthless enemy is waiting . . . 'The good old-fashioned adventure romp brought up to date without losing the fun or the thrills.' Independent
