If your kids are anything like mine, I imagine that there are times it’s been hard to find something for them to read. With all of my kids, it was easy to find engaging books or ones that interested them when they were early readers, and it’s been easy to find ones at a high school reading level. However, the tween years proved to be tough – too old for the cartoony books of youth and too young for most young adult/adult literature. But Explorer Academy from National Geographic Kids totally changed that!

With adventure, danger, and a thrilling global mission, what’s not to love?! Explorer Academy: The Nebula Secret follows a group of 24 kids who train to become explorers. But for Cruz Coronado, there’s more to the story as he uncovers his family’s mysterious past. It’s not often that Lexie packs a book when we travel, but she couldn’t put this one down – and brought the next one as well!
Even parents will love this fact-based fiction series that was inspired by real National Geographic explorers. STEM and geography are incorporated into the storylines so that kids are learning something while they’re reading. And kids will love the codebreaking challenges, future tech, and problem-solving included in each book.

Lexie’s Recommendations: This series is great for tweens or older siblings reading it to younger siblings – Ellie thought it was a great read-aloud book. All the details made it feel like you were actually there, and it’s one of those books that you want to just keep reading and never stop. The art in the book was very detailed, and the colors popped, which is different from a lot of books. Definitely two thumbs up in our house for Explorer Academy!!
