Summary
Amazon Rally is a story about two boys from England who
are motorcycle racers. Brian and David take part in a rally
through the Amazon jungle in Brazil. The race starts in
Brasilia and ends in Manaus. At first it is easy, as the roads
are good but as the racers go deeper into the jungle the
roads get very bad.
They get lost and are approached by some angry Indians,
who mistake them for miners who want to kill their
people and take their lands. They are taken to the Indian
village, where a German woman who works with the
Indians can translate.
When they learn there is danger of an attack, Brian offers
to ride his motorbike and get the police in the nearby
village to help. He takes Caruak, the Chief’s son, with him
so that he can show him the way.
They get to the village and warn the police about the
miners’ attack. The police bring many men who hide in
the jungle and when the miners come, they stop them.
The villagers are very happy. Brian and David are happy
too; they don’t win the race but they have helped the
Indians keep their homes.
