Description
A trip to Brazil in the summer holidays was an unexpected treat for Harry Wharton and Co. of the Greyfriars Remove as well as for Billy Bunter. Lord Mauleverer, paying a visit to his cousin Brian, manager of his plantation, took the opportunity of inviting the Famous Five, as well as Billy Bunter, who for once didn't have to wrangle an invitation.
It was strange that when they reached Brazil, Brian Mauleverer had disappeared, leaving only a brief message that he had "gone on a journey". However, the boys enjoyed themselves despite encounters with the dangerous bandit, O Corvo. But where was Brian? Was there more than met the eye in the doings of the assistant manager Martinho Funcho as Inky seemed to think? Can the whereabouts of the missing manager be discovered by the astute detective work of Hurree Jamset Ram Singh? A thrilling story laced with equal amounts of humour and adventure.
