Publisher's summary
Alex, James and their new friend Claude-Michelle face mischief, mayhem, murder, a modern-day pirate and wildlife traffickers in this adventure set in a lost world in remote northern Madagascar. How wise is it to head into forests where there’s no phone signal and compasses are confused by magnetic rocks? Or deep into a labyrinth of caves inhabited by crocodiles and aggressive eels? What has happened to Claude’s mother? Who can the children trust? And how can mere children foil evil traffickers of rare lemurs?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,671
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

I like hearing about all the wildlife in this book
This review is shared by a listener who is unable to post for themselves.
Madagascar Misadventure is the fourth book in the series by Jane Wilson-Howarth featuring Alex and James adventures as they are travelling through Madagascar because their parents are wildlife activists. I have listened to the previous books as well.
I like hearing about all the wildlife in this book like lemurs and foosa and scorpions for example.
I like that James and Alex and Claude have a sense of humour and I like listening to them banter. Also I like how James and Alex care about each other even though they don't always get along.
I like that it is interesting hearing about the Madagascar culture and curses that they believe in.
The story is enjoyable and the characters face a lot of threat so this makes the reader want to know what happens next.
The recording was done well and is very clearly read.
