It's Benedict Allen, the guy who we remember from childhood TV shows crossing Namibia and the Skeleton Coast by camel, lips cracked from dehydration, probably not enough bullets in the rusty revolver he's been given to protect himself from the circling lions. And now here he is, proving that he was definitely one of the good guys, writing for young people. Amazing.
"Benedict Allen decided he wanted to be an explorer aged 10. Since then he has visited parts of the planet that very few others have been to, learning about remote environments and communities - and facing danger at every turn.
In these real-life stories of his expeditions, travel with him as:
- he capsizes his canoe, fleeing through the Amazon rainforest
- he gets separated from his huskies and is lost in an Arctic blizzard
- he is shipwrecked on a shark-infested island without food or water
Discover how the nine life-or-death situations that he found himself in called for him to use all his survival skills, friendships and courage to survive. Plus read Benedict's tips and life lessons for exploring the world around you."
