Explorer Academy Books
Summer is a great time for kids to expand their minds, so you’ll want to check out the National Geographic Explorer Academy books.
The main character is a 12 year old boy, so the book has appeal for kids in that age range. Younger kids who are ready for chapter books will like it, and so will older kids.
These adventurous books are good entertainment, but they’ll also encourage interest in STEM fields. Children who use their brains can accomplish much.
