Meet the Secret Explorers - a band of brainiac kids from all around the world. Everyone in this diverse group of young experts has a speciality, from outer space to dinosaurs, and each story follows a character who gets chosen for a "secret exploration". In this fun, fact-filled children's book, we join rainforest expert Ollie on an exciting mission to rescue a lost baby orangutan in the steamy rainforest of Borneo. Joined by engineering expert Kiki, they set out in a glider to search for the friendly ape. Along the way, they encounter greedy plantation owners who are plotting to destroy the forest to expand a palm oil plantation, and learn about the threat to animals and plants due to deforestation.

On the way Kiki and Ollie discover an evil plot to destroy the forest. Can they make sure the rainforest is not lost forever and save Fig at the same time?

This book is an amazing book and my favourite part was when one of the boys scared away the tiger a smelly durian fruit. I recommend this book to you and anyone else who reads this. My favourite character was Fig the orangutan because she was cute and sneaky. I am saying she sneaky because she Niki’s camera.
