About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is a reluctant reader who loves gross-out humor, or when they are showing a budding interest in extreme environments and survival. This volume from the Horrible Geography series transforms complex earth science into an engaging, high-energy adventure that feels more like a comic book than a textbook. It explores the formation of mountains, the physics of glaciers, and the harrowing stories of the explorers who braved thin air and freezing temperatures. While the tone is irreverent and funny, it deeply respects the resilience and perseverance required to survive in the wild. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who prefer bite-sized facts and wacky illustrations over dense prose. Parents will appreciate how it builds a sophisticated vocabulary and a genuine wonder for the natural world without ever feeling like homework.
