from audible.com
Price: $5.96
Customer Review:
Love the pace of this book. We STARTED the Magic Tree House series with this one, which is odd. It was the one I saw first at the store and they didn't have #1, and after trying the Junie B. Jones books and hating them, I had to get something else. This was recommended by my best friend, a 4th grade... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Dr. Taylor cured herself of cancer after traditional medicine had written her off.

This is an interesting book. However, it presents a very (North) American (US) view of the problem of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.
