''Amazon Adventure'' is a 1949 children's novel by the Canadian-born American author Willard Price featuring his "Adventure" series characters, Hal and Roger Hunt. It depicts an expedition to the Amazon River to capture animals for their father's wildlife collection business. ==Allies== * Terry- The smiling Irish pilot who flies the Hunts from Quito to the Jivaro village. Terry's plane is in terrible condition, and the flight almost ends in disaster on several occasions. Hal decides that ''"Lady Luck must love this man!"'' * Chief- The Chief of the Jivaro village is friendly towards the Hunts, and is eventually persuaded to sell them the mummified head of a warrior, for which John Hunt pays double the requested price. The Chief also organises for Napo to accompany the trio down the uncharted Pastaza River. * Napo - The Jivaro warrior who accompanies Hal, Roger and John Hunt down the first segment of the Pastaza River. The waterfall at which he turns back is consequently dubbed Napo Falls. * Aqua - A young Indian whom Hal employed at Iquitos, who is always willing to do more than he was asked to do. He was killed by the anaconda while bravely helping to capture it, and was buried at the foot of the tree where he gave his life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amazon Adventure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
