What if the greatest mystery wasn't hidden in the jungle... but beneath it?
After saving the Whispering Jungle, Kaya hopes life will finally return to normal. But when an ancient glowing map begins changing on its own, she discovers a frightening secret-rivers are disappearing beneath the earth.
Joined by her best friend Tamu, the fearless young jaguar Eru, and explorer Dr. Selene, Kaya follows the mysterious map into a breathtaking underground world filled with hidden cities, glowing crystal caves, pink river dolphins, forgotten gardens, and ancient temples built by the legendary Root Builders.
As rivers begin losing their way, Kaya and her friends must uncover a centuries-old mistake before both the underground world and the jungle above fall out of balance forever.
Along the way, young readers will naturally discover fascinating facts about:
- Freshwater ecosystems
- Underground rivers and cave geology
- River dolphins and cave wildlife
- Fish migration
- Plant roots and the water cycle
- Why nature depends on balance, not control
Filled with exciting adventures, unforgettable characters, surprising discoveries, and real science woven into the story, Kaya and the Map of Lost Rivers inspires curiosity, teamwork, courage, and respect for the natural world.
Perfect for readers ages 9-13 who love epic adventures, mysterious civilizations, hidden worlds, wildlife, and stories that make learning feel like an unforgettable journey.
Continue the adventure in the Kaya of the Green Heart series!
