Read this to myself a few years ago, and just enjoyed reading this with my 10 and 13 year olds for our literature. Great book! You can see, smell and hear Brazil as you venture through the country of Brazil with Martin and Barney. Great values, Christian focus and exceptional writing! Ballantyne writes in such a way that the children continually ask, "is this a true story?" I hope to someday have read all of Ballantyne's books - he was a writer truly gifted in his craft. A boy's adventures in the forests of Brazil. As evidenced by it's being the second most popular Ballantyne on LibraryThing, it was more famous than some of his other books which I liked better. But - I like them all so I guess my opinion isn't worth a hell of a lot in that respect. Martin meets a jaguar, an anaconda and some alligators. When this was written, in the late 1800s, those events alone would have been of immense interest to youths reading of them from their beds or firesides in good old England. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

At least his aunt, Mrs. Dorothy Grumbit, said so; and certainly she ought to have known, if anybody should, for Martin lived with her, and was, as she herself expressed it, "the bane of her existence, - the very torment of her life." No doubt of it whatever, according to Aunt Dorothy Grumbit's showing, Martin Rattler was "a remarkably bad boy." It is a curious fact, however, that, although most of the people in the village of Ashford seemed to agree with Mrs. Grumbit in her opinion of Martin, there were very few of them who did not smile cheerfully on the child when they met him, and say, "Good day, lad!" as heartily as if they thought him the best boy in the place. No one seemed to bear Martin Rattler ill-will, notwithstanding his alleged badness. Men laughed when they said he was a bad boy, as if they did not quite believe their own assertion. The vicar, an old whiteheaded man, with a kind, hearty countenance, said that the child was full of mischief, full of mischief; but he would improve as he grew older, he was quite certain of that.
