A stolen drum. A missing rhythm. A city alive with music.
James, a fourteen-year-old drumming prodigy, never expected his trip to Rio de Janeiro to turn into a thrilling mystery. Invited to perform in the world-famous Carnival parade with the legendary Estrela do Ritmo samba school, he's ready to push his skills to the limit. But when a priceless tamborim-an irreplaceable drum with deep cultural significance-vanishes from the school's rehearsal space, the entire performance is thrown into jeopardy.
Determined to prove himself, James embarks on a pulse-pounding journey through the heart of Rio, where rival samba schools, hidden clues, and the unbreakable power of rhythm collide. As he learns the intricate beats of samba drumming, he also discovers that music is more than just sound-it's history, passion, and identity.
With time running out before the biggest performance of his life, James must trust his instincts, follow the rhythm, and uncover the truth before the parade begins.
Perfect for fans of adventure, music, and mystery, James and the Samba Beat Mystery is an electrifying journey into the world of Brazilian percussion, where every beat tells a story, and the rhythm never stops.
