The first thrilling adventure in the collectible series for young readers from survival expert and Chief Scout Bear Grylls.

Olly isn’t enjoying activity camp. Why should he bother building a shelter or foraging for food with his teammates – he’d rather be at home in the warm and dry, where the sofa and the video games are.

But then Olly gets given a compass with a mysterious fifth direction. When he follows it, he’s magically transported to a high mountain range where he meets survival expert Bear Grylls. With his help, Olly must learn to survive in sub-zero temperatures, including what to do if the ice cracks when you’re crossing a frozen lake, or a blizzard sets in . . .

But can his adventure with Bear Grylls change Olly’s mind about teamwork and perseverance? And who will Olly give the compass to next?

Each book in this fun new series from Bear Grylls follows a different child on the outdoor activity camp. Once they are given the magical compass, they meet the adventurous guide in an amazing place and learn new skills and facts to take back to real life.
