Destination Paraguay

by Emily Asad

Overview

Fifteen-year-old Sebastian Segovia is nothing like his father, a brave soldier whose treasure-hunting adventures led him to the New World. But when Sebastian sets sail for his new home in Asunción, disaster strikes. It’s bad enough that the pirates take his entire inheritance, but how will he face slave-traders, deadly jaguars, and cannibals on his own? Does Arazunú, the young Guarani warrior, have secret plans for revenge, or will he prove a reliable guide through the jungle? And will Sebastian ever discover the courage he's heard about his whole life, or will he forever remain a mama's boy?

About the Author

A native Minnesotan, nothing makes Emily happier than reading by the fireplace while it's blizzarding outside. Her favorite authors include Tamora Pierce, Louisa May Alcott, and Frances Hodgson Burnett. As a veteran high-school English teacher, her favorite subject is British Literature, especially the Chaucer poems. As a juggler, she uses her students for guinea pigs to perform her short plays, and she often conducts a Jester Academy that teach kids to juggle and tell corny jokes. In her spare times, she bakes bread and studies chess.
