A girl and three teenagers get lost in a high jungle in the Andes. The area is uninhabited and they have to survive in a hostile and unknown environment. In the forest mist float myths and legends of beings called The Ancient Ones, and the girl manages to communicate with wild animals. 
The youngsters must face dangers due to jungle beasts, tropical storms and geological cataclysms, as well as to drug traffickers, Jaguar-Priests and other unknown entities and a sinister place called by the natives The Tangle, an area of the jungle so dense that the vegetation prevents sunlight from reaching the ground. 
To overcome these dangers, the teenagers use their energies and display powers that they did not know they possessed.
A magical novel full of mysteries that will keep you on your toes
until the end.

The Bewitched Jungle

 I appreciate your interest in reading these few words in which I talk about my work. It is a good habit to try to understand what led an author to write a particular book, because the motivations vary from author to author and from book to book. 


 As a sign of respect for the reader, in all my books I make a thorough previous investigation of the facts the work refers to, particularly considering that many of them take place in places sometimes very far apart from each other and also in various historical periods; my books often travel indeed through dilated stretches in time and space. 


 These searches are based on my memory, in the large family library and the huge quarry of facts and data existing in the Internet. In the global network everyone can search but not all find the same ... fortunately, since this results in a huge variability and diversity. 


 The plot of course comes from the imagination and fantasy. This is critical for me and I confess that I would never write a book that I wouldn´t like to read; my interests as a writer and as a reader coincide to a large degree. 


 My works often take place in exotic locations and refer sometimes to surprising and even paradoxical facts, but never enter the realm of the fantastic and incredible. Moreover, the most bizarre events are often true.
