The Secret Explorers Books

Publication order is simplest, starting with The Lost Whales. The team and headquarters recur, but each mission focuses on different experts and can be understood on its own.

Families can also choose by interest—a dinosaur rescue, moon mission, rainforest, volcano, castle, cave, or ocean adventure. Mission notes, quizzes, and glossaries reinforce the real facts.

Missions include volcanoes, ice, caves, storms, lost or endangered animals, poachers, tomb robbers, and children working in risky environments. Danger is brief, non-graphic, and centered on planning and teamwork.

Real science and conservation are woven into the fiction, including habitat loss, space debris, extinct animals, archaeological theft, and environmental protection.
