Allies of the Amazon
The hero members of the Allies of the Amazon are Duca, an uakari monkey who has the power to release flames from his hands; Nina, a giant turtle who has the ability to move and dig large amounts of earth with her mouth; Gabe, an uirapuru bird who has the ability to emit strong winds from his beak; and Serena, a great victoria-regia plant who has the power to control water.
In the premise of the first book there is peace within the forest and every animal only tells the truth. When an ant excavation deep underground releases an ancient monster named Lamal, the forest is threatened. Lamal has the power to shape-shift and lie, and begins to disrupt the harmony of the forest. United by friendship and purpose, the Allies of the Amazon take on Lamal to protect their home and reinstate the values of a sustainable society.
