So You Want to Be an Explorer by Linda Soules continues the So You Want to Be series. The world we live in is amazing, but so much of it has never been seen. If you’ve ever dreamed of being the next big explorer, this is the book for you. It will show you exactly what being an explorer is all about and what it takes to become one. It details the years of training, the survival skills you’ll need to build, and the physical and mental toughness needed to explore some of the farthest-flung and most secret places in the whole world. You’ll visit the deepest oceans where light never penetrates, subzero ice fields, the deepest, thickest jungles, and even the solar system in this fascinating guide that will prep any teen for a career in exploration.
So You Want to Be an Explorer is another amazing book in Linda Soule’s wonderful series. It’s written in plain language, breaking down a complex career and explaining it simply. This in-depth guide leaves readers in no doubt about what it takes to be an explorer. To most kids, it sounds like an exciting career, and it is, but not many realize that it’s not just a case of setting out with a map and a backpack. It takes years of training, and explorers have to be physically and mentally fit, too. Readers will learn about a typical day in the life of an explorer, the tools they’ll need, the kinds of environments they’ll be working in, and much more. The book is filled with amazing facts, and it answers every question a person might have, giving them everything they need to decide if this is the career for them or not. It’s tough to decide what you want to do with your life, and books like these are an excellent starting point to make that decision. I wish there had been books like this when I was at that stage of life! Another excellent addition to the series, highly recommended for any young reader who dreams of exploring places where no one has ever been before and of making that next great discovery.
