Looking for a gift a curious 8-12-year old will actually want to open? This collection of remarkable true adventures proves the greatest stories aren't always fiction - sometimes the most unbelievable ones really happened.
Each 5-minute chapter is perfect for bedtime, car journeys, flights, or independent reading. Inside, kids meet real people who changed history through courage and curiosity: Olympic champion Eric Liddell, the daring young Pony Express riders, fossil-hunter Mary Anning, the sinking of the Titanic, and more.
