Bear Grylls Adventure 5: The River Challenge
Jack loves all sorts of outdoor activities - but he just can't stand getting wet. Can an adventure with Bear Grylls in a Chinese river gorge, rafting down the rapids, change his mind?
Anything that means he might have to swim and Jack is the first to duck out of it. But when he falls into a small stream at Camp, he's not just embarrassed - he's been transported to a raging river where dangers lurk around every bend. Luckily, the inspirational adventurer Bear Grylls is there to guide him through the treacherous waters and give him back some of his lost confidence...
Each book in this fun new 12-book series from Chief Scout BEAR GRYLLS follows a different child on the outdoor activity camp. Once they are given the magical compass, they meet the inspirational adventurer in an amazing place and learn new skills and facts they can take with them back to their real life.
