This is an adventure story told by Emma (an exotic green iguana) who lives in the lovely garden next to the pretty blue house belonging to my husband Peter and myself in The Cayman Islands in the Western Caribbean. Emma tells us about her life and travels to Sri Lanka on a Mystery Magic Carpet Ride to collect Mandy (a mischievous purple-faced langur monkey). Emma and Mandy continue on the Magic Carpet Ride to California to visit Marilyn, who lives at Muir Beach, and then continue to Muir Woods climb trees. Emma and Mandy then continue to The Cayman Islands and Mandy returns home to Sri Lanka alone. They have both travelled round the world on their Magic Carpet ride and had a wonderful trip. Tessa J.
