PAPERBACK
Author: Ned Hartley
Illustrator: Nick Moffatt
Daring, imaginative, and packed with jaw-dropping discoveries, this adapted edition of JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH introduces young readers to one of the greatest adventure stories ever written - made accessible for a new generation.
When Axel cracks a mysterious coded message, he uncovers the writings of a sixteenth-century professor who claims to have travelled to the very centre of the Earth. Intrigued and determined to prove it’s possible, Axel’s uncle, the brilliant and stubborn Professor Liedenbrock, launches an extraordinary expedition.
Their journey begins inside an Icelandic volcano and leads them deep underground, where they encounter hidden worlds beyond imagination - an underground sky, a vast prehistoric sea, and terrifying dinosaurs still roaming below the Earth’s surface. Every step brings danger, wonder, and the thrill of discovery.
Originally written by Jules Verne, this version has been expertly adapted by Ned Hartley and vividly illustrated by Nick Moffatt. Clear language and striking visuals make complex ideas easy to follow while preserving the excitement and imagination of Verne’s original tale.
A perfect introduction to classic science fiction, and ideal for curious readers who love exploration and big ideas, Journey to the Centre of the Earth proves that the greatest adventures often begin with a single question - what if?
