Thirteen-year-old Jonno Kane's holiday job at the Lonehead
Flying Field often involves him in exciting adventures. When
he arrives at the Flying Field for Easter, his friends Perry,
Charlie and Roz arrange for him to accompany them to a far
off jungle; another adventure has begun.
Walter Dyne, one of Perry's friends, needs help running his
experimental farm. He already has a pilot, Joe Bergman, to
fly the planes that spray crops and carry supplies from the
nearest town, but he wants to ground him because he is unwell.
Bergman, shocked by his experiences in a recent war, is plotting
revenge against the side that committed the atrocities he
witnessed. Unwittingly, Jonno finds himself involved, alone
with the crazy Bergman at a stockpile of arms deep in the
jungle, with enemies closing in from all sides.
In three previous stories, Jonathan Kane has faced hazardous
situations; in Jungle Run he faces his most dangerous and
enthralling adventure yet.
"Jonathan is amazing! The stories are amazing! They are an
incredible mixture of a boy's dreamworld and an accurate to
the last detail account of the technicalities of light aircraft
and every aspect of flying."
