Description

A thrilling adventure set in the jungles of India from the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize shortlisted author of Secrets of the Snakestone.

A lost monkey.

A cursed jewel.

A race through the jungle.

When Roma stumbles upon a rare golden monkey, she vows to return it to its hidden home in the Himalayas. But the path is riddled with peril: ruthless bandits, prowling beasts, and the sinister power of the Snakestone – a jewel that stalks her dreams.

To make matters worse, Roma is forced to travel with Max and Arabella, two pampered children who seem more trouble than help. Only a mysterious map offers a chance of success – but with every step, pursuers of the Snakestone draw closer.

Can Roma unlock the map’s secret before the jungle swallows them whole?
