Gold of the Gods


Author:Bear Grylls
Publisher:Red Fox
Published date:2008
Bear Grylls is a real life survival expert.Bear has a black belt in karate an expert climber and is serving in the British S.A.S.He is the youngest person to climb Mt.Everest and he got into the Guinness Book Of Records for doing so.Bear has his own world wide T.V series Man VS Wild and is starting a new one,not in the jungle but in the city.

The book is about finding the Lost City Of Gold. They lost there G.P.S in a water fall.They find a native tribe the Mama Kojeks.They didn't fully trust them but then Beck convinces them to give him the amulet so Beck gets a amulet that will guide them to the Lost City.

The surroundings are dense bush and are deadly animals all around.It is the Colombian jungle
witch is wet,slippery and very cold.Even when the sun is shining, deep in the jungle it is still very cold.
when Beck gets to the Lost City he has to climb 1000 steps to get in to the Lost City.

The characters are Beck,The Twins and Christina.
Beck is the survival expert of all 13 year old kids and is the only reason that the team might not die,dehydrate or get bitten from a poisonous snake or bug.


Christina doesn't have much skills to help Beck through out the book but sometimes she helps in her own way.

The Twins are a bit more helpful trough the book because they get some good ideas that Beck doesn't think of as fast as The Twins do.
