  Serpent in the Cave by Emilio...

  Emilio Salgari

  Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, narrates a classic boys’ adventure by Emilio Salgari (1862–1911), one of Italy’s most prolific and bestselling authors. Set in the jungles of the Amazon, the tale follows hunters in pursuit of a legendary serpent of colossal size. 
  The story brims with action-filled passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones and draws listeners into an exotic landscape where forked tongues and sharp teeth lurk in dark caves. 
  Salgari was an armchair adventurer of the worst kind, and his descriptions of indigenous peoples are marked by the prejudices common in his day. Yet, because his yarn is so preposterous and grounded in practically no first-hand experience, it is perhaps possible to forgive as mere entertainment. 
  This is a journey with the “grandfather” of Italian popular fiction—the Italian counterpart to Karl May (1842–1912) in Germany and H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) in Britain. 
  The short intro was adapted from a creative commons flamenco performance at YouTube.

  "Get ready for a smart, fun, sharply written, page-turning heart-clencher of a story. I would follow Avery and Jax anywhere. And I will read everything Erin Soderberg Downing writes." - Natalie Lloyd, bestselling author of Hummingbird and The Witching WindIn this alternating narrative by bestselling author Erin Soderberg Downing, a decades-old family secret is buried within the sand, water, and woods... waiting for cousins Avery and Jax to find it and uncover the truth. Avery is a firecracker. In a crayon box of colors, she's the shocking pink and laser lemon, when all she wants is to be a quiet tan or soft cornflower blue. Her cousin, Jax, is a wall flower, because sometimes it's better to stay quiet when the alternative is to be told that you're doing or saying everything wrong. They seem to be the only ones who don't know what happened years ago when their family shattered and went off in different directions.When their beloved Aunt Robbie summons the large, estranged family together for a gathering at their broken-down family cabin on Crooked Lake, instead of getting the answer, Aunt Robbie delivers some devastating news. Avery and Jax learn that by the end of the summer, the island that's been a part of their family for generations is going up for sale.Forced to stay on the island with their estranged family to get it into shape to sell, Avery and Jax begin to dig through the history of the long-abandoned house and its contents... including a sprinkling of diary pages that were hidden around the island decades ago, the summer their family was torn apart.In this alternating narrative by bestselling author Erin Soderberg Downing, two cousins are finally beginning to understand the joy of family--however cracked and imperfect theirs might be. But if they have any chance of gluing their broken family back together, they'll have to first figure out what happened then.
