LitPick Review
The book The Explorers is about a group of friends that decides to go halfway across the world to save a friend named Sebastian. In the book, the group of kids meet a famous explorer named Catherine who promised to help them find Sebastian. The group flies over to Korea to find Sebastian and the only thing left for the group now is to find Evie’s grandfather who is somewhere he could be in danger. They run into small problems they have to solve like taking a shark out of a backyard pool and finding a way to take the shark to the aquarium.
Opinion:
The Explorers would be a great book for readers who like to read books about adventures. I personally did not love this book because there was not enough background information about the characters and what was happening in the book. It might have made the book more interesting if the author told us about the background of the characters and what they were up to. I would have liked to know why the characters were where they were and why the characters wanted to save their friend so badly.
Readers can definitely picture the setting of the book because the author described the setting of the book very well, and sometimes there were pictures in the pages showing the setting. Overall, this was not a very exciting book because it did not tell the readers what happened previously and why the characters were doing what they were doing.
