The children and teenagers you meet may have come from different places and lived at different times in history, but they all have something in common - a curiosity about the world around them! Some of our young discoverers saw something that seemed out of the ordinary and went to take a closer look, while others felt something strange with their fingers or toes or heard an unexpected sound. One of our heroes even followed his nose all the way to an incredible find. Fun and engaging, packed with fascinating facts and perfect for fans of history, science, and treasure hunts, this book will inspire curiosity and confidence in young readers and show them that anyone - no matter their age or experience - can make an extraordinary discovery.
