Martin Rattler (1858)is the story of a mischievous young boy with a good heart. By mistake, he winds up on the ship Firefly with his friend Barney O’Flannagan, headed to the South Seas. Escaping pirates and surviving a shipwreck, the two explore South America in one frolicking adventure after another. It’s a rollicking adventure story, with characterization reminiscent of G.A. Henty and a surprisingly lighthearted writing style, Martin Rattler is a book every boy (or girl) will enjoy. Readers will learn about the jungles of Brazil. A thoroughly delightful read, you will follow the young adventurers as they canoe down the Amazon, narrowly escape an alligator, eat an anaconda and turtle’s eggs, are captured by Indians, and then are separated. Martin escapes by jumping over a cliff and tries to make his way home. He meets some men who take him to a diamond mine where he gets a job working under a man named Baron Fagoni.
