Synopsis

** WINNER OF THE ORDNANCE SURVEY CHILDREN'S TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 AND LONG-LISTED FOR THE BLUE PETER BOOK AWARD 2019**

Hand-picked by adventurer Alastair Humphreys, this compilation retells the extraordinary journeys undertaken by his personal heroes. These men and women have ventured into space, oceans, deserts and jungles and inspired Alastair's own adventures. They may do the same for you too.
This lively, illustrated guide to 20 of the world's most impressive explorers, past and present, is a joyful read for those aged seven and up.
A Book about adventurers that seems like an adventure to read. A lovely mix of illustration styles and exciting comic strips that made me hungry to turn the page.
It's easy to see why it made the Education Awards shortlist.
