The series reminds kids they’re limited only by their imagination and shows them that learning is enjoyable, encouraging children to believe they can become experts in something they love. This edge-of-your-seat science book is packed with fun facts and illustrations about animals and plants found in the rainforests of Borneo, simple, engaging explanations of how deforestation is altering our planet’s biodiversity, quizzes, mission notes, and a glossary of key words, and content that supports the STEM curriculum. In this fact-filled adventure, readers follow rainforest expert Ollie on a mission to rescue a lost baby orangutan in the steamy rainforest of Borneo. Joined by engineering expert Kiki, the pair set out in a glider to search for the friendly ape, encountering greedy plantation owners plotting to destroy the forest to expand a palm oil plantation along the way, while learning about the threats endangered animals and plants face from deforestation. Kids will love turning the pages to discover whether the Secret Explorers succeed in their mission – it’s the perfect gift for children aged 7-9 who love all things rainforest, offering a thrilling introduction to nature packed with information on animal and plant life. Each book in the series combines exciting adventures with real-life facts tied to the Secret Explorers’ latest mission – don’t miss an underwater adventure in The Secret Explorers and the Lost Whales, a journey back in time to save a dinosaur egg in The Secret Explorers and the Jurassic Rescue, or a mission to save the Cairo Museum in The Secret Explorers and the Tomb Robbers.
