The Explorer

Great for KS2 to read alongside studies of South America. A true adventure story!

My favourite character is Bacca because he is cute. It's the best book I have read in my life and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I really liked when they eat the tarantulas

This fictional book is a great read for KS2 children, particularly those aged 9-11, who enjoy adventure and exploration. It would be particularly suitable for a class studying rainforests, as the story is set in the Amazon rainforest and provides opportunities for children to develop their understanding of its environment and wildlife. I enjoyed the sense of adventure throughout the story, particularly as the young characters are forced to work together and use their individual strengths to survive. The book promotes resilience, teamwork and friendship, while also encouraging readers to consider the importance of protecting the natural environment.

It was adventurey

This book was really engaging to read with all the adventures Fred and the others will uncover throughout the journey! I really recommend this!

very adventurase

No words. Just stunning.

I like how the four children were very safe . And didn’t get hurt or damaged. I love them because they tried there best to keep safe .

i think this book is really good for someone who loves the amazon rainforest or who wants to learn about the a amazon rainforest

Content warning; the pilot in the plane crash dies at the beginning and there is general jeopardy.
I liked this as a character study and friendship theme. It went down well with 8-10 year olds.

I really felt mezmorized after reading this book because it was so amazing how children could survive in the rainforest on their own without any food or resources, this reminded me of video games I play where if you get stranded, you work your way towards victory, and it kind of seems like the same concept in this book. I recommended this book to a friend and she also loved it. Its brilliant.

An exciting jungle adventure full of mystery and survival.

Very exciting!

I had been lent this book by my teacher. It was really good.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes nature. I love this book and I hope you do too!

the only problem with this book is that you are not able to put it down. it is brilliant!

This book is about some children that are on a plane but the plane crashes and they try to find their way home.This book taught me life skills like how to make a fire and that you can make pancakes with caterpillars and you can use cocoa beans for chocolate.I really recommend it if you are interested in adventures and if you want to learn stuff about nature.

Bit boring and predictable not many twists and to easy to read

Bit boring and predictable but good overall

Enjoyable read for children age 9+ with some great vocabulary to unpick.

This book was fantastic

Adventure story about siblings crash landing in the Amazon. Great book

highly recommend

I loved this book. I liked the characters and how they developed and survived

A great book. I loved the children managed alone.

I absolutely loved this story. Really exciting adventure with lots of suspense.

I thought this book was amazing because I thought it was crazy that some children got stranded in the Amazon forest without any grownups. And that when they met a grown up, he said they could have rat, tarantulas and bananas to eat. The little boy said the tarantulas taste like chicken with mayonnaise.

very intriguing i wish there was a part two

Yes, it’s a great adventure book.
