Graham Salisbury
A tense survival adventure places young people in a natural disaster and gives Dylan and Louie difficult practical and emotional problems to solve. Its strongest thread appears to be movement from suspicion towards cooperation.
Rob Colson
This is an information-led guide to responding to hazards, including dangerous animals, natural disasters, human dangers, navigation, first aid and rescue. It offers preparation-focused content rather than a sustained fictional storyline.
Preet Chandi
A lively guide for children who enjoy practical discovery, linking real expedition experiences with achievable activities close to home. Its emphasis is on learning by trying: outdoor skills, observation, planning and cooperation rather than simply reading about distant adventures.
Coby Coonradt and Cameron Hardy, illustrated by Victoria Stebleva
A playful survival manual built around imagined disasters and fantasy threats. Its humour, contemporary voice and cartoony illustrations may make the subject approachable.
