Sail across sand
dunes and streams on a handmade boat in Book 3 of the Challenge Island
series!
Finding themselves
transported to a magical island once again, Daniel, Joy, and Kimani emerge from
a mysterious cave to see blue waters—they’re by the beach! And in the near
distance, across large sand dunes and up a hill, stands a familiar tall tower.
There, the pirate Captain Wei awaits with all the answers to their questions…
if they ever reach the tower in time.
Using items stashed
around the cave, the friends must build themselves a blowcart and use wind
power to sail across the bumpy beach. But how do they make a cart fast and
sturdy enough to carry the three of them? See what surprises are in store for
the three friends in this new Challenge Island adventure!
Included at the back of
the book are cool facts about real sea pirates and ships, plus fun STEAM
activities you can do at home, like how to build your own blowcart and make
pirate treasure slime.
From the world’s #1 STEAM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) program and education enrichment
program, Challenge Island® presents an exciting new adventure for smart, curious
kids. This is Book 3 in the Challenge Island series.
