A pre-Darwinian naturalist who trampled barefoot through the snake-infested jungles of South America; a nineteenth-century Swedish engineer who set out for the North Pole in a gas-filled balloon; a Victorian woman who, after a sheltered life in aa London suburb, pursued a “fish and fetish” mission in West Africa. These are just a few of the intrepid travelers whose exploits are dramatically evoked in this fascinating book.

"The true adventures of eight travelers who followed their dreams, regardless of setbacks and sometimes insurmountable obstacles, are chronicled in this effortless combination of geography, history, and biography."
               ---Kirkus
“Intrepid travelers all, the dauntless subjects of these eight short biographical essays are compelling companions for armchair explorers...
The inclusion of several less-famous personalities adds interest and a fresh perspective. Zaunders maintains both of these qualities through fast-paced, descriptive narration and an innate sense of story. His opening sentences are masterfully constructed to capture attention....Irresistable.”
               ---The Horn Book
"[An] absorbing picture book...readers can't help being drawn in by these dramatic incidents. Informative and supremely entertaining, this book demonstrates that reading can be a great adventure, too."                   ---Publishers Weekly
“Zaunder’s clear writing, the exciting episodes, and Munro’s spirited full-color drawings result in a rousing collection.”               ---School Library Journal​
Notable Children’s Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies by the National Council of Social Studies and the Children’s Book Council.
