The Polar Bear Explorers' Club byAlex Bell, illustrated by Tomislav Tomic

With inventive touches to the story such as pygmy dinosaurs and frost fairies, the story landscape is easy to imagine and get lost in. It's punctuated with some stunning illustrations by Tomic which add beautifully to the atmosphere. 4. Tom Crean's Rabbit: A True Story from Scott's Last Voyage byMeredith Hooper,‎ illustrated by Bert Kitchen At its heart, this story was one of human connection and how even in the hardest of times people can get through with teamwork and helping each other out. Some of the characters were difficult to connect to at first which is perhaps why my rating didn't come out as higher however I would like to draw attention to how Rundell masterfully displayed character growth and by the end of this book, I was enchanted by each and every character. Katherine Rundell spent her childhood in Africa and parts of Europe before settling in the UK. She is the author of Rooftoppers, a story of one girl’s adventures across the rooftops of Paris, which won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award. Stella Starflake Pearl is a great young protagonist who becomes the first female to be allowed into the Polar Bear Explorers' Club. On an expedition to the Icelands, Stella and three fellow junior explorers get separated from the main expedition.

Work with Explore Learning

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. 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. There’s a convincing depth to each of the characters in the story; the more time we spend in their company, the more we become attached and concerned about their plight. Con, in particular, is a character whose arc I especially enjoyed reading. As they get bolder and explore further afield, they see more traces of another human inhabitant, too – and then they find the map. Who was here before and where will the map take them?

Fred es un niño inglés, del que todo el mundo dice que es un niño tranquilo y sensato, pero que siempre ha soñado con ser explorador. Ahora tiene que demostrarse a si mismo si realmente tiene madera de explorador. 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. 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. You have the option to extend your holiday to spend extra nights before our after your tour. If you choose to do this we can:

Katherine Rundell ilk başta Gökyüzü Çocukları isimli kitabıyla tanıştığım ve sonrasında “bu kadının beyninden daha neler çıkar acaba?” heyecanıyla takip ettiğim bir çocuk kitapları yazarı. Şimdiye kadar üzmedi de gerçekten. Hâlâ daha en sevdiğim ilk kitabı olan Gökyüzü Çocukları ama Kâşif de ikinci sıraya yerleşti diyebilirim. İlk başlarda “Eyvah! Sanırım Sinekler Tanrısı’na bağlayacak bu” diye düşündüğümü itiraf edeyim ama devamında öyle olmadığını kanıtladı. Çocuklara sorunlarla başa çıkabileceklerini, doğayı sevmeyi ve keşfetmenin heyecanlı bir şey olduğunu öğretecek bir kitap bence Kâşif. 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.
