Adventures of Charlotte and Henry

Big Places. Kind Hearts.

What if a glowing book could sweep you away to the wildest place on Earth?

When Charlotte and her loyal pup Henry discover a mysterious glowing green book buried beneath the beach deck, they are whisked deep into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest - where the rivers run black, the jungle never sleeps, and every living thing is connected.

Written at a Grade 2 reading level, this is a true first chapter book designed for early independent readers.

There, they ride a motorcycle through the Llanos Basin, free a jaguar from a poacher's snare, paddle the Río Negro with the legendary explorer Alexander von Humboldt, and witness one of the world's greatest natural wonders - the Meeting of the Waters, where two mighty rivers flow side by side without ever mixing.

Told in lyrical, accessible verse with short chapters and striking black-and-white illustrations, Adventures of Charlotte and Henry: The Amazon bridges the gap between picture books and traditional chapter books - making it the perfect next step for growing readers.
