Allende city of the beasts6/9/2023 Pretty soon we come to suspect that not all of these people are pure of heart and at least one may have ulterior motives. Other members of the expedition include an anthropologist, a doctor, and a local entrepreneur. The local guide for the trip into the Amazon has a teenage daughter named Nadia, and she and Alex quickly bond. Now, she'll be taking Alexander along with her. She is a magazine reporter who is irascible and tough-minded, not qualities that one would normally associate with the word "grandmother." She had been planning a trip to the Amazon to search for a gigantic legendary creature known only as the Beast and to encounter the lost tribes who live in that region. When Alexander's mother becomes quite ill, he is sent to New York to stay with his grandmother, Kate. The two main characters are teenagers Alexander and Nadia. The book seems primarily directed toward a young adult audience, of which I meet only the second word in that description. This book was first published in 2002 so it has been around for quite a while, but I had never encountered it although I have read other books by Isabel Allende.
