Description
'Katherine Rundell just gets better and better. I loved The Explorer' - Jacqueline Wilson
WINNER OF THE COSTA CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD 2017
A thrilling story of adventure, friendship and survival in the Amazon, The Explorer is an unmissable, Costa Award-winning modern classic from internationally bestselling author Katherine Rundell
From his seat in the tiny aeroplane, Fred watches as the mysteries of the Amazon jungle pass by below him. He has always dreamed of becoming an explorer, of making history and of reading his name amongst the lists of great discoveries. If only he could land and look about him.
As the plane crashes into the canopy, Fred is suddenly left without a choice. 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 …
'Utterly splendid. Katherine Rundell is now unarguably in the FIRST RANK' - Philip Pullman
