Survival and outdoor adventure superstar Bear Grylls has penned an exciting illustrated early chapter book series for readers aged 5+, where the Chief Scout takes each child out into the wild on a new challenging adventure over the course of 12 books!

What if you were given a magical compass and you could go on adventures around the world? That's exactly what all the children protagonists in Bear Grylls Adventures get to do, with Bear Grylls himself! 

Withstand the extreme temperatures of the desert and how to spot mirages, encounter giant camel spiders, deadly scorpions and snakes...

Brave the extreme conditions of a tropical island, by escaping a shipwreck and sourcing water...

Travel through a city that's just been destroyed by an earthquake... or make your way through the slopes of an active volcano, with red-hot lava heading your way...

In each book, a survival challenge must be overcome, and by the end of it each character will have learned something for life, like the importance of not littering, how there's more to picky eating, enjoying the real world even more than video games and working as a team. The series is not only full of adventure, it's also packed with life lessons for the problems your average 6-year-old faces.
