This journal covers the history, rules, and rosters of the Amazon team. As well as stories of mysterious relics, acrobatic antics, and some truly spectacular ritual sacrifice shows at half-time, you'll find all the fantastic fun and essential commentary you've come to expect from Spike! Journal. As such, this magazine is the perfect companion for any jungle-dwelling coach.
