Into the Jungle

Product Information

Lily is a young woman who moves to Bolivia to escape her not-so-great life in the US. When her work plans in Bolivia fall through, she decides to stay anyway. She makes some friends, has fun, and meets Omar. She falls hard for Omar, a local man from a remote jungle village. Omar learns that his nephew was killed by a jaguar, so he plans to return to the village. He asks Lily to travel into the jungle with him. She is in love, and follows Omar to live in a jungle village that no one has ever heard of. Lily is unprepared for what meets her. While not all situations seem plausible in the storyline, this very entertaining novel is eerily descriptive of jungle life and a journey well worth taking for this reader as it develops into a terrifying fight for survival.

Ms. Ferencik has a new book coming out in March "The Girl In Ice", but you can read this one now***Omar soon gets notice that his young nephew has been killed by a jaguar in the remote jungle village he comes from, so he must return. Lily, totally infatuated, tags along, wondering how hard could jungle life be? Purifying drinking water significantly reduces the risk of water-borne illnesses. This is usually a two-step process: Apart from Lily, the story is brimming with interesting and eclectic characters, from For God’s Sake, the crippled riverboat driver, to the “Frannies”, the two missionaries who have settled in the jungle in an effort of converting the tribes to Christianity. There is also Baya, a shaman living alone in the bush and shunned by the villagers, who has a strange affinity to Lily. And because every good adventure story needs some baddies, there are the poachers, out to rape and pillage and strip the jungle of its treasures. In all this, Omar and Lily’s love endures.

As the name suggests, Into the Jungle was a concept created for the all day dining restaurant Giardino, at the Palazzo Versace. Leaning into the already leafy, jungle-like environment, we designed our brunch around this. Children are thrilled and enthralled from the moment they step inside from a walking talking tree, to a boisterous gorilla patrolling the brunch area, jungle theme activity stations, where the children can take a little gift home, our wonderful Moana and of course the hugely popular performance from Magic Phil. We cover it all leaving children with lasting memories. She’s incredibly down-to-earth and seems to strike a chord with people at home. Plus they’re confident Josie will bring the laughs to I’m A Celebrity, as she already does on This Morning, and is guaranteed to get on with most of the jungle campmates." Other notable characters besides Lily and Omar include two missionaries known as “The Harriets” they do try to teach the Bible but they also love the people there and have come to know them, doctor them and in many ways they help each other, I loved these two!Into the Jungle is a modern classic in the making, as Katherine Rundell creates charming and compelling origin stories for all Kipling's best-loved characters, from Baloo and Shere Khan to Kaa and Bagheera. As Mowgli travels through the Indian jungle, this brilliantly visual tale, which weaves each short story together into a wider whole, will make readers both laugh and cry. I must thank you again for our previous hunting excursion. While I feel my instincts are returning, there is still more I must do. It's been some time since I've hunted in the Jungle! It's been far too long! Come now, let us depart! Today she hosted This Morning with Rylan Clark and took part in a segment on terrifying creepy crawlies.
