Review: The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid

The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid by Dylan Thuras
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For adventure-loving children this version of the popular adult Atlas Obscura by Joshua Foer offers a look at some fascinating places around the globe. Progressing from place to place by a linkage of ideas, Thuras zig-zags around the planet, offering children a bit of information about some place fantastic on every continent. Joy Ang's colorful illustrations are beautiful complements for each locale selected. Places featured range from the glowworm caves of New Zealand to the seed vault on Svalbard, the Blood Falls of Antarctica to the Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada's Northwest Territories, and from the Devil's Swimming Pool in Namibia to the Everlasting Lightning Storm over Lake Maracaibo. With a packing list, alternate routes that suggest still more curious places, and further reading suggestions, this is a fun book for children ages eight to twelve.
