Review of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Passion for Life (2000) by Thiago M — 21 Mar 2009

These two stories both have conclusions, so I wasn't left with the same confusion as with "My First Adventure". In the first story, Indy and his parents are in Africa, where he meets Teddy Roosevelt. He also befriends a young African boy. I really gained a sense of his intelligence here, as he successfully learned to communicate with this boy and his village members as he sought to find the missing oryx (antelopes).

The second story wasn't as interesting to me, because I don't find art (specifically painting) as intriguing as some. Here his assignment is to write an essay about Leonardo Da Vinci, and instead of doing so from books he gets mixed up with the trio of Norman Rockwell, Pablo Picasso, and Degas. His parents are conveniently absent from this episode with only his tutor to watch him, so he is on his own most of the time.
