Official synopsis Publisher
Shortly after the end of WWII, sixteen-year-old Erich Linden and his family have fled Germany and joined Erich’s uncle, Klaus, in Venezuela, where they will begin a new life. But, en route to Klaus’s outpost further inland, they encounter a storm and their plane crashes in the middle of the jungle. Stranded deep within Amazonia with no hope of rescue, they are discovered by the Yayomi, a violent and superstitious Stone Age tribe. The Yayomi believe the strangelooking foreigners are freshwater dolphins in human form—and the Lindens believe that as long as they can keep up the bizarre ruse they’ll be safe. But the jungle is a dark, mysterious place, and no place for a family of sham dolphin-people who are ultimately left with only two choices: to escape or to die trying.
