Average rating
The first thrilling adventure in the brand-new collectible series for young readers from survival expert and Chief Scout BEAR GRYLLS.
Olly isn’t enjoying activity camp. Why should he bother building a shelter or foraging for food with his teammates – he’d rather be at home in the warm and dry, where the sofa and the video games are.
But then Olly gets given a compass with a mysterious fifth direction. When he follows it, he’s magically transported to a high mountain range where he meets survival expert Bear Grylls. With his help, Olly must learn to survive in sub-zero temperatures, including what to do if the ice cracks when you’re crossing a frozen lake, or a blizzard sets in . . .
But can his adventure with Bear Grylls change Olly’s mind about teamwork and perseverance? And who will Olly give the compass to next?
Each book in this fun new 12-book series from BEAR GRYLLS follows a different child on the outdoor activity camp. Once they are given the magical compass, they meet the inspirational adventurer in an amazing place and learn new skills and facts they can take back with them to their real life.

I like this book because every single character in the book goes into a compass and meets Bear Grylls. The adventure with Bear Grylls helps them get over their fears.

There are many ways to die in the blizzard example, wearing the right gear still needs to watch your step as the ice might break and you might end up falling into the water. This is very dangerous because you will need two people to get you out safely. That means in the blizzard, you need to be very careful when out there.

A boy called Olly is not having fun at camp. His rucksack is very heavy and he gets splinters while building a shelter.But a compass shows five directions at night time which takes him onto a glacier.
