I bought this book as a gift but then I decided to quality check it. And it‘s glorious! Dad‘s a famous explorer who has been lost for some time, Mum and kids plan to enter a map making contest to chart the way for a new railway (because they are in desperate need for the prize money) but get separated. Kids go on ahead. They work together to survive the wildness & have an unforgettable time complete with unscrupulous rivals and unexpected dangers.

Jennn56 That‘s a beautiful book 6y
Bibliogeekery Gorgeous! What age is it appropriate for? 6y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Bibliogeekery, depends on the reader and if you were reading together or solo - but 8-12? Nothing too scary happens (or is at least if it does is resolved fairly quickly) 6y
