the newest Challenge Island adventure! One of Children Book
Council's Hot off the Press picks for May 2022! "For early grade
readers who revel in science-based fiction, this is a winning read.
Animals, physics, and habitats are among the topics covered, with
lots of instances where the reader can predict and hypothesize
along with the characters. Kimani, who is Black, has an impressive
head for science and builds in many of the facts that help the
group solve problems together. Sleek black and white cartoon art
complements the text, adding visual clues. Science experiments and
craft projects from each character are at the end." —Youth
Services Book Review "In this follow-up to The Bridge to Sharktooth
Island, optimistic Joy, cautious Daniel, and studious Kimani find
themselves transported once again to a magical island where they
have to solve a series of puzzles to escape the middle of the
rainforest before darkness falls. . . Supplementary materials at
the back include STEAM projects and fun facts introduced by the
main characters that a science-loving child will enjoy. The story
is engaging, educational, and peppered with cute illustrations… a
fun purchase for the easygoing young reader in love with animals
and books." —School Library Journal "The Race Across Anaconda

tropical rainforest! As they zip through the canopy, a dangerous
snake lurks in the black waters below. They are searching for a way
out and a path to a mysterious tower. Does it hold the answers to
their questions? Using ropes and other found items, the three
friends must figure out how to safely traverse across the island
using their knowledge of friction and weights. But the sun is going
down and night is approaching fast. Will they reach the tower in
time? Also included are cool facts about the rainforest and its
animals, plus fun STEAM activities showing you how to build your
own pulley system and monkey playground. From the world's #1 STEAM

program, Challenge Island® presents an exciting new adventure book
series for smart, curious kids.
