Fast-paced, thrilling, and packed with survival know-how, THE BLIZZARD CHALLENGE launches an exciting new adventure series that blends fiction, facts, and outdoor skills - perfect for young readers who love action and discovery.
Olly isn’t enjoying activity camp one bit. He’d much rather be warm, dry, and gaming on the sofa than building shelters or learning how to forage with a team. But everything changes when he’s given a mysterious compass - one with a fifth direction.
When Olly follows it, he’s magically transported to a freezing mountain range, where he meets survival expert Bear Grylls. Together, they face extreme conditions, from cracking ice on frozen lakes to fierce blizzards, and Olly must learn how to survive - and how to work with others - if he wants to make it home. Blending gripping storytelling with real survival tips, this first book in the series helps readers learn practical skills while exploring themes of perseverance, teamwork, and resilience.
Experience a high-adrenaline adventure with real survival knowledge, and short chapters and accessible writing for confident readers that encourage teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving. Ideal for readers who enjoy adventure stories with substance, Bear Grylls Adventure: The Blizzard Challenge proves that stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to the greatest discoveries - and that learning to work together is the ultimate survival skill.
Each book in this 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.
