520 _aIt’s winter. Jessica wakes up and sees the snow falling outside her bedroom. Suddenly, her father enters and shows some photos of his trip to the Amazon. He shows the animals, the fruits, the meeting of major rivers Negro and Solimoes. Tired, Jessica realizes that she is an adventure in the Amazon jungle looking for Caramuri, a fruit that only grows 4 in 4 years, into the forest. She meets a friend who helps her look for this fruit, but on the way she finds some legends like Mapinguari, a big animal who works like a guardian of the jungle. Also she speaks to the Curupira, a boy who has his feet turned backwards and scare the hunters of the forest. The famous Mermaid Iara appears to scare and expell fishermen that pollute the river. During the trip, the girl can feel how it is hot in the Amazon and jaguars, birds, big fish are part of this beautiful place.
