  • The Dead Don't Hurt Us is a story book, where the author imagines two British children are stranded in the Peruvian rainforest after a plane crash. The children survive hardships in the jungle.

The parents of the children struggle to find them and on the way the parents find out about harm oil prospectors and other explorers are doing to the rainforest.
