A fun book that will definitely appeal to those who 1. like facts and 2. who find it difficult to drag themselves through a novel. The style is fun without being over dummified, the text clear and interspersed with colour illustrations making it easy to absorb facts that can be later divulged to impress friends and family.

Consulting with experts in expeditions and survival tecnhiques, these cover scenarios from the quite likely (depending on where you live and holiday) to the extreme.
Recommended for 8-12 years and very much so for reluctant readers

I love these books! Especially for my students. As soon as I saw that they came out with a version geared toward kids, I knew I had to read it! This book is fun, engaging, filled with random facts and can be read in small chunks to make it doable for struggling readers.

This is such a sweet and somewhat educational guide for kids to help them navigate worst case scenarios and get the thought process going on how to deal with obstacles they are faced with. A great teaching tool.

This is an absolute must-buy for children. The bit on how to poop in the woods is priceless. My students would totally love this one. I wouldn't call it informative but it is definitely hilarious.

I love this book. I know many kids that will devour it. Useful information. Some of the topics seemed far fetched to encounter but was told in an interesting and entertaining format. I just spent some time in a coastal community with high surf and riptides. It was difficult trying to explain this to preteens and teens. They didn’t understand the problem. Meanwhile there were deaths daily from the conditions. I wish those topics and a few others that are more common issues were covered.
