Originally published in 1858, “Martin Rattler” (AKA Martin Rattler: Adventures of a Boy in the Forests of Brazil) is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Michael Ballantyne.

This masterpiece tells the story of Martin Rattler, a mischievous young boy with a good heart. By mistake, he winds up on the ship Firefly with his friend Barney O’Flannagan, headed to the South Seas. Escaping pirates and surviving a shipwreck, the two explore South America in one frolicking adventure after another.
A thoroughly delightful read following the young adventurers as they canoe down the Amazon, narrowly escape an alligator, eat an anaconda and turtle’s eggs, are captured by Indians, and then are separated.
