Story quiz

These two books from a series of six are aimed at 8-12-year-olds and categorised as ‘teaching and guidance’. The authors have first-hand experience of the places they write about in the form of short anecdotes, with simple applications or lessons. The chapters are self-contained stories short enough to read in one sitting. Each book has a quiz at the end, based on the contents of each chapter. Himalayan Adventures has a useful glossary, and Great Barrier Reef Adventures has an excellent map.
