When will this arrive by?
The first thrilling adventure in the brand-new collectable series for young readers from survival expert and Chief Scout, Bear Grylls.
Olly hates activity camp and its pointless activities. Why should he bother building a stupid shelter or foraging for food with his teammates - he'd rather be at home in the warm and dry, where the sofa and the video games are.
But then Olly gets given a compass with a mysterious fifth direction. When he follows it, he's magically transported to a high mountain range where he meets survival expert Bear Grylls. With his help, Olly must learn to survive in sub-zero temperatures, including what to do if the ice cracks when you're crossing a frozen lake, or a blizzard sets in . . .
But can his adventure with Bear Grylls change Olly's mind about teamwork and perseverance? And who will Olly give the compass to next?
Each book in this fun new 12-book series from BEAR GRYLLS follows a different child on the outdoor activity camp. Once they are given the magical compass, they meet the inspirational adventurer in an amazing place and learn new skills and facts they can take back with them to their real life.
About the Author
Bear and his wife Shara live on a barge on the River Thames in London and on a small remote Welsh island. They have three sons: Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry.
Illustrator, Emma McCann, studied illustration at Kingston University and has since illustrated many titles for a wide variety of publishers. Her first children's book was long-listed for the Kate Greenaway award.

Industry Reviews
As well as good adventures, these are great motivational reads that remind children to take responsibility for their own actions, and attitudes. The stories are well paced and nicely illustrated, great for those aged 7+ who are developing confidence as readers. * Reading Zone *
