Sinopse

Filled with humour, heart and a touch of the supernatural, this first book in a brilliant new series takes you on a non-stop adventure in Antarctica, perfect for the most intrepid of readers!

Maisie thinks her dad is the most boring person in the world. For fun he likes to do origami (but only basic triangles) or jigsaw puzzles of a cloudless sky (yep, every piece is blue). He writes cool-sounding books like How To Wrestle A Crocodile and How To Defuse A Bomb, but he's never actually done any of the awesome things he writes about.

But Maisie has to admit weird things happen around Dad. Unexplainable things...When childcare falls through and Dad has to take Maisie to Antarctica to research his next book, How To Survive In Antarctica, Maisie realises there is definitely something unusual about Dad...

Maisie is determined to find out the truth about her dad. What she doesn't realise is that she'll discover some things about herself and what it really means to be a hero along the way. One thing is for sure - it's going to be the adventure of a lifetime!

An action-packed cross between Adventures on Trains and My Brother is a Superhero.

"Perfect blend of laugh-out-loud comedy and high-stakes action" - Zohra Nabi, Waterstones Book of the Month author of The Kingdom Over the Sea


"A brilliant blend of mystery, survival and adventure, with a sprinkling of supernatural woven seamlessly in" - Tom Vaughan, Waterstones Book of the Month author of Hercules: The Diary of a (Sort of Hero)

    The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peters and Judy had at home. But they were bored and restless and, looking for something interesting to do, thought they'd give Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives. Since its original publication, Jumanji has been honored with many awards, including the Caldecott Medal and a National Book Award nomination, and, in 1996, the surreal story was adapted for the big screen, followed by a 2017 sequel.

    Deep in the wilds of Scotland, land of ancient warrior kings and myths, there is a deep secret. The secret is a colony of beavers, a species that is craved for their fur pelts, but vilified for what humans consider to be the destruction of their land. No beaver has been spotted in Scotland or England for over five hundred years, until the young beaver, Dunwattle, is sighted! 
    Dunwattle’s flight is driven by the presence of a ghostly figure, a figure of a mysterious young girl who is almost one thousand years old.

    Xuanzang and the monkey arrived at Guanyin Monastery. Elder Jinchi, the abbot of the monastery, showed his treasures to them. Ignoring Xuanzang's advice, the monkey reciprocated by showing off Xuanzang's embroidered robe, which made the abbot so jealous that he sought to burn Xuanzang to death and take the robe. After learning of Jinchi's conspiracy, the monkey secretly protected Xuanzang and diverted the fire to other rooms. Black-Wind Monster was disturbed by the fire and took advantage of the chance to steal the robe. When the monkey discovered that the robe was lost the next day, he rushed to Black-Wind Mountain to get it back. The monkey transformed himself to look like Jinchi but the monster saw through the illusion, leading the two into a big fight. Finding the monster difficult to defeat, the monkey turned to Guanyin for help. After instructing the monkey to turn himself into an elixir, Guanyin coaxed the monster to eat it. The monkey entered the monster's stomach and tortured him until he handed over the robe. Guanyin subdued the monster and made him the guard deity of her mountain.
