A book that tells the remarkable life story of Helena Valero, who in 1937 was living with her parents and siblings in the extreme north-west of Brazil when she was kidnapped by Yanoáma Indians. She was 12 years old at the time and spent around 2 decades living with various bands of Yanoáma before escaping back to "the world of white men". In 1962-63 she was interviewed by Italian anthropologist Ettore Biocca.
Apart from it being an amazing story in itself, the book is an extraordinary description of the Yanoáma at a time when they had very little contact with modern society. A few years after this book was published Valero apparently returned to live amongst the Yanoáma, and was reportedly still alive and living amongst them in 1996/97.
Sinopse
"A spunky heroine, buoyant text, and irresistible illustrations make this easy reader a real winner," School Library Journal said of the first book about May Belle and her good friend Ogre. Now they are back, and they are still best friends. But there is just one problem-Ogre eats everything! What do you do with a friend who eats your food, your flowers, the notes you write him, and even the pictures you paint? Beginning readers will delight in Ogre's antics and May Belle's clever sense of fun as she keeps her unruly friend in line.
