The White Jaguar Ten-year-old Marty Johnson's life ends in a fiery plane crash deep within the Amazon rainforest... or so the world believes. Rescued by Arona, a hunter of the isolated Mashco Piro tribe, Marty awakens scarred, alone, and unable to speak their language. As the years pass, he learns to survive in one of the most unforgiving jungles on Earth. He masters the bow, spear, blowgun, and knife, earns the respect of his adopted people, and faces deadly predators that would destroy lesser men. After surviving brutal battles with jaguars, poisonous snakes, and the relentless rainforest itself, Marty is given a name that reflects his courage, White Jaguar. But his greatest challenge comes not from the jungle. When mysterious strangers begin stalking the village from the shadows, Marty must combine the ingenuity of the modern world with the ancient wisdom of his adopted tribe. Armed with weapons crafted from the wreckage of the airplane that brought him to the jungle, he stands beside the people who became his family, and the woman who became his heart. The White Jaguar is an unforgettable tale of survival, courage, love, and belonging. It is the story of a boy who lost one family, found another, and discovered that home is not where you are born, it is where you are willing to fight for those you love.
