Description
Lexa thought she knew what bravery was—until the Amazon rainforest demanded everything she had to give.
In Norbu's Secret, the riveting second book of the multi-award-winning Chronicles of G.A.I.A. series, Lexa and her friends find themselves on a mission that quickly becomes a fight to save one of the world's most endangered landscapes. When jaguars mysteriously vanish and a ruthless corporation encroaches on sacred ground, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Guided by the wisdom of Amazonian youths and haunted by powerful dreams from her mentor Norbu, Lexa must face dangers that test her courage and force her to make choices she never imagined. Racing against time and battling her own fears, she discovers that protecting the rainforest may come at the greatest cost—and that sometimes, true courage means standing up for what can't speak for itself.
Packed with suspense, powerful friendships, and a message of environmental activism, Norbu's Secret is more than an adventure; it's an invitation for young readers to become heroes for our planet. Join Lexa and her friends on their unforgettable journey and discover the strength it takes to protect the earth.
This gripping tale blends adventure with a poignant message of environmental activism, making it a must-have for young readers eager to make a difference.

This was everything that I was looking for from the description, it had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the environmental element to this. The characters were everything that I was looking for and was glad everything flowed well. Dana Klisanin has a strong writing style and can’t wait to read more.

Received this book through NetGalley.
Norbu's Secret is an thought-provoking adventure that will resonate deeply with young readers, combining suspense, mystery, and an urgent environmental message. Set against the backdrop of the Amazon rainforest, the novel follows Lexa and her friends as they are thrust into a race against time to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of jaguars, a keystone species of the jungle. Their journey quickly becomes not just a quest for answers, but a battle to protect the very land they hold dear from the destructive forces of a powerful corporation.
Ultimately, Norbu's Secret is a call to action for young readers, urging them to be stewards of the Earth and stand up against exploitation. The stakes are high, and the tension is palpable, but the underlying message is clear: even the youngest among us have the power to make a difference. This is what stood out the most for me and what made me love the book. In addition to the strong message of the book, it was paired with determined, empathetic and strong characters.
For young readers eager to embark on a thrilling adventure while learning about environmental activism, Norbu's Secret is a must-read. It’s a novel that combines the thrill of discovery with a deep respect for nature, making it both an exciting and inspiring read. Highly recommended for fans of adventure, mystery, and stories that inspire positive change.
