If you can get your hands on this series by Bear Grylls, grab a copy! Unfortunately, they’re no longer being printed, which makes them a little harder to find — but they are absolutely worth the search.
This adventure series is perfect for the 8–10-year-old explorer in your life. With the help of a mysterious magic compass, kids are whisked away on thrilling outdoor missions alongside Bear himself. Each story is packed with action while also teaching practical survival skills, respect for nature, and confidence in the wild. This is a chapter book with pictures throughout, a great introduction to longer chapter books for the young reader.
I read one and immediately wanted to track down more from the series! Sadly, they’re no longer available through the publisher, so I couldn’t include them in the Safe Books for Kids catalog — but I can definitely recommend them here.
If you’re interested, check your local library or search for used copies. They’re a fantastic read for kids who love adventure, the outdoors, and stories that build courage and character.
