About this ebook

From the author of Inca-tastic Tales comes a new collection of short stories: Jungle-tastic Tales!

Are you brave enough to join Yacumama, the Amazon's most humongous and powerful snake, on a once-in-a-lifetime trip?
You are? Fab! Then grab your camera, mosquito net and raincoat, and LET'S GO!
You're gonna travel through thousands of years of history and culture (a lot of which not many grown-ups know about!).
For example, did you know...?
- There were once huge cities in the Amazon rainforest.
- The Amazon is home to millions of different species of animals and plants.
- The first city in Peru to get electric street lights was in the Amazon Region.
- A Premier League footballer grew up in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

If that's got your interest, then jump in the canoe and we'll get started straight away. We'll start with the Ice Age and go right the way through to modern times. Oh, and Yacumama promises not to bite you! She'll be on her best behaviour.

Praise for The Mysterious Helpers (a chapter from Jungle-tastic Tales):
"really exciting"
"a good yarn"
"I believe everyone should read this beautiful story."

Author

Helen Pugh

Helen Pugh is the author of Intrepid Dudettes of the Inca Empire, an accessible non-fiction historical account of incredible Inca women who lived hundreds of years ago. She has also written Jungle-tastic Tales and Inca-tastic Tales, short story anthologies for children based on extensive research into the rainforest and Inca history, respectively, as well as Cuentos incatásticos for Spanish speakers and several shorter ebooks that are free of charge.Her interest in South America and the Incas began in 2006, when she first went to Ecuador. Then, from 2011 she lived there for 7 continuous years, 6 in the Amazon Region and 1 in Quito. Her children are half Ecuadorian, which was another driving force for exploring South American heritage. She experienced domestic violence and very long and traumatic legal battles in Ecuador so can relate to some of the Inca women in the book on that front.Helen studied Spanish and Italian at university and has a lifelong passion for history, especially that of historical women who made history, but have been sidelined.
