Do you know how it feels to run for 1,900 miles? Or to look down at the
earth from a space station? Or to swim alongside a hungry shark?
Fantastic Female Adventurers by Lily Dyu is a collection of
fourteen exciting and inspirational stories about the women that do.
Follow them on their incredible journeys around the globe.
Ski to the North Pole with Ann Daniels while watching out for polar
bears and lethal cracks in the ice. Feel the air beneath your feet as
you climb high on a cliff face with Gwen Moffat. Experience the thrill
of racing down rocky Himalayan trails with champion runner Mira Rai.
Sail the oceans with Ellen MacArthur, the girl who saved up her lunch
money to buy her first boat. You'll even fly into space with Britain's
first astronaut, Helen Sharman. And join Lily on other awesome
adventures with Anna McNuff, Sarah Outen, Misba Khan and more - taking
you from Everest to the South Pole and all the places in between.
Beautifully illustrated by artist and adventurer Chellie Carroll,
Fantastic Female Adventurers will leave you thinking: I can do
that, too!
