The Explorer
Katherine Rundell, Hannah Horn
After crashing hundreds of miles from civilisation in the Amazon rainforest, Fred, Con, Lila and Max are utterly alone and in grave danger. They have no food, no water and no chance of being rescued. But they are alive and they have hope. As they negotiate the wild jungle they begin to find signs that something - someone - has been there before them. Could there possibly be a way out after all?

I loved this book, my favourite character was Lila because she loved animals like I do and cared about her brother Max incredibly, putting him first. It was a fascinating story so I read it within 3 days because I couldn't take my head out of it. I think it shows that we need to take care of our rainforests and that there is much more to the world than big cities.

Katherine Rundell's ‘The Explorer’ is an exciting adventure book that takes readers into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The story begins with a thrilling plane crash, leaving four children—Fred, Con, Lila, and her little brother, Max—stranded in the thick jungle. With no adults to help them, the children must use their intelligence and bravery to survive in this wild and unfamiliar place. This book’s genre is adventure, as well as some tension in the middle. The book was very large for a children’s book, but it was amazing to read. Additionally, ‘The Explorer’ uses clear and interesting descriptions, which make images in my head. This book is worth reading as you don’t know what is going to happen, especially in the middle of the book. It is set in a realistic world, but some of the events are driven by large amounts of luck in order to avoid tragedy. The setting is incredibly vivid. In conclusion, The Explorer is an excellently written, thrilling, and heartfelt novel that connects the spirit of adventure and the wonders of the natural world together. It's a book that will inspire young readers to dream of their own adventures and appreciate the marvels of our planet.

It's a very good book. It took a while for us to get into it but when we did we loved it. My favourite character is Con because she's grumpy but adventurous. I would recommend it to other children aged8 and above.

I liked that the book was all about adventure. It was set in the Amazon rainforest. I liked Baca the sloth because he was a sloth named after the Portugeuse word for pineapple. I would recommend it to people who like rainforest stories and surviving in the wild.
