I liked the book because it was like a real adventure. My favourite character was Charlie, because at the start he was attached with Magma Quest and in the end he realised that a volcano has lots of resources.

This book was brilliant as it really taught you lessons as it went along and you got to know how Charlie was thinking. A great way to get children to think outside of video games and go on an adventure

Amazing book. Learned lots of ways to survive. I didn’t know there was ice between volcanoes.

17 Sep 2022

The story is fictional but there are some great facts in it. My favourite character is Charlie because he goes on a great adventure. I really liked the book because there were volcanos and one exploded. The book is full of adventure and excitement. I would recommend this book to 6+ because there are some scary bits and the writing is a bit difficult to read. I am going to read The Safari Challenge next because its the next book in the series.

they were serching near a volcano

25 Aug 2022

I have never read a book like this by Bear Grylls before but it was completely adventurous and exciting. They had to escape down a mountain, through a glacier and hide during a rock shower which was part of the eruption.
My favourite character is Bear as he is fearless and helps the kid who is stuck on the volcano, and tells him what to do in dangerous situations.

Charlie had a compass with 5 sides and magically gets transported to the peak of a volcano and realises that videos games are not as close to real life as he thought. He meets Bear who helps lead to away from the volcano and to safely.
