Swing into this rainforest adventure in this action-packed conservation themed installment of DK Books' new educational fiction series for children.

Meet the Secret Explorers - a band of brainiac kids from all around the world. Everyone in this diverse group of young experts has a specialty, from outer space to dinosaurs, and each story follows a character who gets chosen for a "secret exploration".

In this fun, fact-filled children's book, we join rainforest expert Ollie on an exciting mission to rescue a lost baby orangutan in the steamy rainforest of Borneo. Joined by engineering expert Kiki, they set out in a glider to search for the friendly ape.

Along the way, they encounter greedy plantation owners who are plotting to destroy the forest to expand a palm oil plantation and learn about the threat to animals and plants due to deforestation. Kids will love turning the pages to find out if the Secret Explorers manage to succeed in their mission!

Swing into action!

With a thrilling narrative that keeps kids engaged, The Secret Explorers and the Rainforest Rangers book by SJ King is the perfect gift for children who are into all things rainforest. It's written for children aged 7-9 years, with lots of information on animal and plant life, to give them a thrilling introduction to nature.

At the end of the book, you'll find "Ollie's Mission Notes" which is a summary of all the scientific facts and discoveries made throughout the story. With fun illustrations, quizzes, and a vocabulary list, the educational value of this book is outstanding and great for a classroom read!
