The Explorer

The Explorer

Like a man-made magic wish the airplane began to rise.
The boy sitting in the cockpit gripped his seat and held his breath as the plane roared and climbed into the arms of the sky.

From his seat in the tiny aeroplane, Fred watches as the mysteries of the Amazon jungle pass by below him.

He has always dreamed of becoming an explorer, of making history and of reading his name amongst the lists of great discoveries. If only he could land and look about him.

As the plane crashes into the canopy, Fred is suddenly left without a choice.

He and the three other children may be alive, but the jungle is a vast, untamed place.Ā  With no hope of rescue, the chance of getting home feels impossibly small. Except, it seems, someone has been there before them...

Katherine RundellĀ spent her childhood in Africa and parts of Europe before settling in the UK. She is the author ofĀ Rooftoppers, a story of one girl’s adventures across the rooftops of Paris, which won theĀ Waterstones Children’s Book PrizeĀ and the Blue Peter Book Award.
