From the Newbury winner for OUT OF THE DUST (my favorite YA book of all time): Eleven-year-old Nicholas Young is about to embark on the journey of his life. In August 1768, he sneaks on board the H.M.S. Endeavour , piloted by famous explorer Captain James Cook, only to find that the ship is destined for an exciting adventure around the world.

Daisey This is one I was thinking about as well. Good choice! 3mo

This is a pretty lively summary of readings about discoverers and “discoverers”, explorers and mapmakers. Inherently a volatile mix of political chicanery, the hubris of men that think it‘ll be fun to sail off the edge of the world, scurvy, occasional deaths by polar bear, and the vicissitudes of pre-industrial economics, expansionism, and mercantilism, I found myself grimly laughing at all these misadventures.

Read it.

This is a detailed account of Peter Freuchen, a legendary polar explorer. He had one of the more ridiculous, badass, and gross survival stories from his days of exploring Greenland. Outside of polar exploration, his life was filled with a variety of unique adventures and twists and turns.

This was a pretty fascinating bit of narrative non fiction. I‘m interested in the lost city / lost world theme so when I heard about this on a podcast it sounded excellent. Gruesome, but excellent. For a lighter tone, watch the Disney movie Jungle Cruise after reading it 🤣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another excellent Litsy recommendation that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would not have fared well on any expedition into the Amazon 😂

Tamra This was a fun, albeit tragic, read! 14mo
