Oh. and one more thing. I didn't like the ending. I suppose they wanted us to still feel the mystery, but I felt it was frustrating to feel like the answer to the mystery was RIGHT THERE and they wouldn't tell us. Annoying. Amelia Earhart was an inspiration for the character Harriet Culpepper in Brightstorm, and this book makes Earhart's story accessible to the young reader. The tale of this intrepid aviator is simply told alongside vivid illustration, and travels from her childhood dreams to her achievements and eventual disappearance.I've included this as my last choice because it so perfectly shows how being an 'explorer' is as much about the simple joy found in discovering the everyday outside your doorstep as it is the great feats of exploring the wider world. In "Mitten im Dschungel" kommt es zum Flugzeugabsturz, denn eine kleine Propellermaschine stürzt mitten im Dschungel ab, sodass Fred, Con, Lila und ihr kleiner Bruder Max allein und komplett auf sich gestellt sind, da der Pilot den Absturz nicht überlebt hat. Trotz ihrer Lage behalten sie einen relativ kühlen Kopf und machen sich schnell ihre Gedanken, wie es weitergehen soll. Dabei spielt nicht nur der Zusammenhalt eine große Rolle, sondern auch ihr Überlebenswille, es wieder heil aus dem Dschungel zu schaffen. How CAWPILE didn't come out as five stars I don't know. This book isn't perfect but it's pretty damn close!

He and the three other children may be alive, but the jungle is a vast, untamed place. With no hope of rescue, the chance of getting home feels impossibly small. Except, it seems, someone has been there before them... With bold and bright illustrations, this book is a great way to find out about some unsung heroes and to celebrate the achievements of women around the world. 3. The Polar Bear Explorers' Club byAlex Bell, illustrated by Tomislav Tomic And speaking of middle-grade books. I take issue with the use of foul language here. It's one thing to refer to someone as swearing. I can handle that in a middle-grade book. But please don't actually type out the word. It makes it so I can't recommend the book to some kids. This book also included kids smoking, drinking, and giving themselves tattoos. Ummm...yeah...no.The story has several unexpected twists and turns. It builds and builds, and gets better and better. I made a lot of highlights during the second half of the book. There are several unexpected moments. Nestled on the tip of southwest England, West Cornwall is home to some of the most picturesque walking routes in the UK, making it a must-visit destination for any outdoor enthusiast. While walking in West Cornwall, you’ll hike across rugged moors and over cliffs, taking in the expansive sea views. With picturesque Penzance as a home base, embark on a journey of West Cornwall’s landscape and landmarks, including St Michael’s Mount, St Ives, and Land’s End. I think I struggled to understand what the story was about - whether it was one of conservation or one of voyage and return. The concept itself was wonderful and I have no doubt that children will love getting lost in the jungle with Fred, Lila, Max and Con but I just couldn't connected with the characters themselves and wanted to - characters are what Rundell excels at.

For me this book touched my heart. It made me think about things, and it changed my way of thinking about things. This is a very beautiful storyDespite the unfortunate absence of suspense, Rundell makes up for the bland narrative by occasionally employing vivid language to describe the jungle: Discover another side to the UK and cruise the wild Scottish islands to discover abundant seabird, puffin and arctic tern. Hop from island to island to uncover ancient relics, towering monoliths and Iron Age dwellings steeped in historical significance. Photograph and wonder at wildlife like fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots, gannets, dolphins and whales. This had all the warmth and wit of Katherine Rundell’s previous books. I adored Rooftoppers, and I liked this one too. Perhaps not as much, though - this one didn’t feel quite as effortlessly funny and unique. However, that being said, my overall experience of reading this book was pure enjoyment, and I think it is a book that lots of young readers will really love. I would say that this is a children’s book written with children in mind. Author Vashti Hardy knows a thing or two about what makes a thrilling adventure for children - that's what makes her book Brightstormsuch a rip-roaring read!

A mysterious map, found by chance, charts their course, leading them to a ruined city of secrets, where they soon discover that they were never alone out there in the jungle; someone has been watching them, and it’s only a matter of time until their paths cross. This Welsh national park is characterised by dramatic jagged mountains, hidden tarns and wildflowers, and is perfect for a walking holiday. Snowdon itself is, of course, a huge draw and we walk up the quietest and best route,but there are countless other beautiful walks in this area to be discovered, such as the Glyders and Cnicht mountain, the Matterhorn of Wales. It’s admirable that Rundell has written a story that’s not entirely comprised of white children; however, all four children are exceedingly one-dimensional. Fred is brave, Lila is smart, Con is a brat, and disobedient Max has an endless supply of snot leaking from his nose. Throughout the book, their personalities are cemented; any growth or change is infinitesimal.

Oddly, I had a really hard time getting into this one. It's right up my alley, so I'm not sure exactly why that was. My best guess is that this book read just like watching a movie. You could see every move people made, and hear what they said, and experience what they saw...but it didn't have the depth that I expect in a book. Yes, even a middle-grade book. And all of you - do not forget that, lost out here, you were brave even in your sleep. Do not forget to take risks. Standing ovations await your bravery,' Con swallowed. 'But I'm afraid,' she whispered. The Explorer nodded, scarred and dusty and matter-of-fact. 'You are right to be afraid. Be brave anyway.'
