When fourteen-year-old Django Jagger launches a reckless search in the Amazon jungle to find his father, he has no idea that he will soon be dancing on the head of a black crocodile. Or that he’ll be bitten by a bird-eating tarantula or captured by cannibals with strange ideas about what makes for a tasty breakfast. He could never have imagined that he would storm a jungle fortress guarded by a hundred ninjas with only a mutant frog and a gonzo mapmaker by his side. But even greater dangers confront Django when he battles to save his father from the monstrous Scorpio Rune who will stop at nothing to gain the gold and the secret of eternal life hidden at the Mirror of the Moon.
