Space explorers, whether on the ground as scientists or the astronauts themselves, are a hive of amazing inspirational stories.This book tells the stories of 50 women who have contributed to space exploration from the past to modern day. I think I struggled to understand what the story was about - whether it was one of conservation or one of voyage and return. The concept itself was wonderful and I have no doubt that children will love getting lost in the jungle with Fred, Lila, Max and Con but I just couldn't connected with the characters themselves and wanted to - characters are what Rundell excels at. And speaking of middle-grade books. I take issue with the use of foul language here. It's one thing to refer to someone as swearing. I can handle that in a middle-grade book. But please don't actually type out the word. It makes it so I can't recommend the book to some kids. This book also included kids smoking, drinking, and giving themselves tattoos. Ummm...yeah...no. Contia es una niña pija, solitaria y altiva, acostumbrada a arreglárselas sola pero rodeada de comodidades. Ahora deberá ampliar sus horizontes, ver más allá de su ambiente conocido.

Katherine Rundell spent her childhood in Africa and parts of Europe before settling in the UK. She is the author of Rooftoppers, a story of one girl’s adventures across the rooftops of Paris, which won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Award. It’s admirable that Rundell has written a story that’s not entirely comprised of white children; however, all four children are exceedingly one-dimensional. Fred is brave, Lila is smart, Con is a brat, and disobedient Max has an endless supply of snot leaking from his nose. Throughout the book, their personalities are cemented; any growth or change is infinitesimal.

Auf "Mitten im Dschungel" war ich schon sehr gespannt, da ich Survivalszenarien schon immer sehr gern gemocht habe. Hier habe ich mir eine Geschichte voller Abenteuer gewünscht und diese auch bekommen, sodass mir das Buch gut gefallen hat. A mysterious map, found by chance, charts their course, leading them to a ruined city of secrets, where they soon discover that they were never alone out there in the jungle; someone has been watching them, and it’s only a matter of time until their paths cross. And all of you - do not forget that, lost out here, you were brave even in your sleep. Do not forget to take risks. Standing ovations await your bravery,' Con swallowed. 'But I'm afraid,' she whispered. The Explorer nodded, scarred and dusty and matter-of-fact. 'You are right to be afraid. Be brave anyway.' Winner of the Federation of Children’s Book Groups Children’s Book Award 2018: Overall Winner and Winner of Younger Reader’s category.

Author Vashti Hardy knows a thing or two about what makes a thrilling adventure for children - that's what makes her book Brightstormsuch a rip-roaring read! Oddly, I had a really hard time getting into this one. It's right up my alley, so I'm not sure exactly why that was. My best guess is that this book read just like watching a movie. You could see every move people made, and hear what they said, and experience what they saw...but it didn't have the depth that I expect in a book. Yes, even a middle-grade book. I loved the way this narrative ran, it was a classic survival-in-the-wild style story but then we are introduced to a mysterious man called 'The Explorer' (I must not have read the blurb because this aspect was a surprise to me!). I loved this element of the story especially since this figure felt sinister at first but his development revealed hidden depths and a heart-warming relationship with one of our protagonists. There are many messages in this book and its hard to say what they are without spoiling the book, but there is the message of love being important, the important of caring for people, and the message that you are perfect just the way you are - never let anyone change you.

The Polar Bear Explorers' Club byAlex Bell, illustrated by Tomislav Tomic For me this book touched my heart. It made me think about things, and it changed my way of thinking about things. This is a very beautiful storyAmelia Earhart was an inspiration for the character Harriet Culpepper in Brightstorm, and this book makes Earhart's story accessible to the young reader. The tale of this intrepid aviator is simply told alongside vivid illustration, and travels from her childhood dreams to her achievements and eventual disappearance.
