🦔 Explorer Acadamy book review

 Sieres : Explore Academy 

Author: Trudi Trueit

Publisher: National Geographic 

Number of books in sieres: 7

We read the book sieres Explore Academy out loud as a family and then listened to them on audible. 

These book are scientific fiction books. There are 7 books in the sieres.  It took us 3 years to read them all because we had to wait for the last few to come out, one a year. 

I loved the scinces, travel, and history in each book. I like at the end of the books it has the true scinces facts to go along with them. Mom also had us look the places up they travel to and map it.

My favorite character is Lani. She loves to invent stuff. In the 7th book she made a machine that can talk to trees. 

In each book the Explore Academy has a mission to complete and Cruz hunts for one of his mom ciphers. 

These are a few ofmy favorite parts from each book ,

Book 1: I like it when they do the butterfly misson in the cave were they had to record Monarch butterflies. ( we hatched butterflies at home and released them ) 🦋 

Book 2: Is when Cruz got to talk to whales 🐋 ( that would be amazing)

Book 3: Is when they see the city of Petra. Petra is a city made from rocks. ( we also watched a documentary on the city of Petra) 

Book 4: is when they see Pangolins in the wild. I would love to see them. 

Book 5: I loved when they visited the Tajmahal. 

Book 6 : I liked the history of the Terra Cotta Army. We have learned a lot about them in some of our unit studies. Also my mom went to China and saw them.

Book 7 : when they fine a new colony of penguins 🐧 in the arctic 

I would recommend this book for anyone to read. There is some light violence in these books. The students at the Explore Academy are 12 years old.

I thought the books were amazing. I hope there is another set of books for Cruzs second year at the academy.
