The book was excellent! I have many students who don't enjoy informational text. I think this is an excellent mix of fiction and nonfiction and can easily engage a fiction reader. Students can learn a lot from this series of books. I will be getting a copy once it is published. This is a great book for students or children ages 8 and up. I would include this in a classroom library for 3-6 graders.

I picked this book because my son loves all thing science and outer space. He reads on a 2nd grade level so there were parts of this story I had to help him with as the book is for an older crowd.

Roshni and Ollie travel into space to fix problem and we loved the story and their ability to be problem solve. During the adventure, readers got to learn about comets, moons and planets.

We loved this book and would enjoy more by author, SJ King.

Great science based adventure for middle school readers. While based on hard science, it has just enough magic to make these adventures come alive the eight students involved. Love the idea of Roshni's tent turning into a portal to the Exploration Station.

This is the second adventure of the Secret Explorers; eight students with different skills and interests who help to solve scientific dilemas. Don't worry if you haven't read the first book, you can jump right in an start learning along with the explorers.

This book and series should appeal to all with an inquiring mind. The kids have to use their powers of observation, their imagination and their background knowledge to discover and solve the problems that they meet. There are no adults to help them, just a wacky shape shifting dune buggy that converses with them in beeps and boops.

This book is planned for release on July 7, 2020 along with the first book in the series The Secret Explorers and the Lost Whales. Additional titles are to be released in October 2020. It will make a great additional to all classroom libraries where students can't get enough STEM materials.

* I received and advanced reader ecopy of this book from DK Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
