Once they are given the magical compass, they meet the inspirational adventurer in an amazing place and learn new skills and facts they can take back with them to their ...real life. This volume features two exciting adventures: Blizzard Challenge: Olly hates activity camp and its pointless activities.

But then Olly gets given a magical compass he's magically transported to a high mountain range where he meets survival expert Bear Grylls. Can his adventure with Bear Grylls change Olly's mind about teamwork and perseverance? Desert Challenge: Sophie loves activity camp ...but is terrified of insects. It's so bad that she won't go into the tent on her own, just in case something flies at her, or she steps on a creepie-crawlie.
