So, it can get tiring to read age-appropriate books to a preschooler. Don't get me wrong, we love to read all sorts of books but sometimes it's nice to read a good chapter book too. So one of our favorite chapter books to read is the Explorer Academy series. We have read 5 in the series already and it's amazing how much my preschooler follows along. I cannot believe we are already at the end of the series, the final installment, the 7th book! It was actually quite funny because when I brought this up to my preschooler, he immmediately, like me...went, but we haven't read the 6th book yet! So, to my delight and from our friends at Nat Geo Kids, we are so happy to introduce one of our favorite series that is now on the heart-pounding finale!
A heart-pounding final showdown changes the life of Cruz Coronado forever in the seventh and final book in this thrilling fact-based fiction series.
Amid assignments that take the Explorer Academy recruits from the iceberg-filled waters of Antarctica to the bone-dry deserts of Argentina, Cruz Coronado is scrambling to complete the last piece of the cipher. With Nebula agents and the elusive explorer spy still out there, his opportunity to recover his mother’s world-changing formula is slipping away. But as Cruz has learned from his time aboard Orion, true explorers must never give up.
Even after completing dozens of high-risk missions and traveling to all seven continents, Cruz could never prepare himself for one ultimate surprise.
Explorer Academy features: Gripping fact-based fiction plot that inspires curiosity with new technology and innovations; amazing inventions and gadgets; a cast of diverse, relatable characters; secret clues, codes, and ciphers to track down within the text; vibrant illustrations; elements of STEAM; National Geographic explorer profiles in the "Truth Behind" section.
Check out the Explorer Academy website featuring videos, comic shorts, games, profiles of real-life National Geographic Explorers, chapter excerpts and more.
