The Explorer

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.

I loved it, I dreaded putting it down

I believe that this story is an adventure book and I find it really interesting. My favourite characters are the main characters and I would recommend the book for people my age.

My favourite character was the "Explorer " because we didn't know his name but we new he lived there a long time because he knew all types of skills. I would highly recommend.

When children Fred, Lila, Max, and Con's plane goes down and the pilot dies, they must learn to live in the Amazon Rainforest, and learn to trust each other. When a map is found, the children build a raft, and sail, following its squiggles. When they get to 'x' they find a man and a lost city; El Dorado. They learn to fish, and the man becomes affectionate about them, almost like father and children. When an emergency accident happens with Max and some bullet ants, Fred must learn to fly the man's hidden secret, the PLANE!

I recommend it to people who like historical, and mysterious fiction. If you think you're not a fan of planes, think again...

Good

I really liked it since it was really funny and before i really was into Explorer related things.( Katherine Rundell is a very good author)

my favourite person is Fred and Explorer. I would heartly reccomend it.

LOVE IT

I loved this book, my favourite character was Lila because she loved animals like I do and cared about her brother Max incredibly, putting him first. It was a fascinating story so I read it within 3 days because I couldn't take my head out of it. I think it shows that we need to take care of our rainforests and that there is much more to the world than big cities.
