20,000 illegal miners have invaded Yanomami lands, leaving a trail of bloodshed and terror. The guardians of the Amazon rainforest are being slaughtered. Rivers are poisoned with mercury from the mines, and the rainforest is being decimated.

The Reading Life joins in with #MARM 2021:
"The language of the book is very creative and imaginative. There are lots of new earth creatures running around, lots of dangers and maybe a delight or two."

Buried in Print talks of Print Patricia Robertson’s HOUR OF THE CRAB in a review of story collections.
