auch ganz toll sind die Illustrationen von Iacopo Bruno, der einzelne Szenen in seinen Bildern besonders schön hervorhebt! En route vers l'inconnu, semé d'embûches, auprès de compagnons très dissemblables : Stella doit composer avec son cousin Dragigus, timide et maladroit, Shay, un valeureux chuchoteur de loups, et Ethan, un irascible magicien qui appartient au club concurrent du Calmar Géant. Forcément leurs différences serviront d'armes pour affronter les obstacles et enrichir leur équipe de bras cassés. Molly: A wonderful frosty adventure with humour and so much heart! Ethan is a funny and cheeky character who made my eyes water with laughter. Stella is determined to prove that there's more to exploring and that it is not just for boys. I would recommend this book to other schools or even adults.

Fancy getting your hands on a copy? Well good news gang, because you can win one in our brilliant competition. Stella had wanted to be an explorer ever since she was old enough to know what the word meant. More specifically, she wanted to be a navigator. She never got tired of looking at maps and globes, and as far as she was concerned, a compass was just about the most beautiful thing in the whole entire world. After unicorns, obviously. Get ready to travel to the iciest of mountains and to set sail across faraway seas with this fun, adventurous and absolutely spellbinding series about great feats, each book reading as a standalone story with its own set of unique and courageous characters.This is a magical and charming adventure with memorable characters: Shay the wolf-whisperer, Ethan the grumpy magician, and Beanie, a genius half-elf. It is suggested that Beanie is on the autistic spectrum, although this is not explicitly stated. Stella Starflake Pearl is adopted, she lives with her Dad Felix, and their multitude of pygmy dinosaurs, unicorns, and a polar bear. Stella wants to be an explorer, a navigator to be exact, but the Polar Bear Explorer's Club forbids women from being explorers, but Felix puts his honour, and his role in the club on the line and Stella soon finds herself part of this club, along with her friend Beanie, and Shay, a mysterious wolf whisperer.

It’s enchanted,” Felix said. “That’s why it doesn’t melt. I got it from a magician I met on my travels through Snuffleville. Look inside.” Beanie ist ebenfalls mit von der Partie. Ein sehr guter Freund von Stella, der sehr clever ist, von den anderen aber gerne schief angesehen wird, wegen seiner "besonderen Art". Naiv, würde man ihn vielleicht nennen, arglos, denn er glaubt an das, was er sieht und hört. Er lügt nicht und glaubt deshalb auch nicht, dass andere lügen. Versteht dabei aber auch schwer, wenn man ein Witz gemacht wird, oder Sarkasmus ... und sein ganzes Wesen wirkt auf viele absonderlich. Für Stella ist er einfach nur liebenswert, von Herzen treu und auf seine Weise ein absolut schlauer Kerl! Fancy an adventure, gang? Then follow us on a journey into an icy, magical expedition with the The Polar Bear Explorers’ Club.It’s not like it would hurt anyone if I went on the expedition, is it?” Stella asked, trying to use Felix’s own logic against him. “And if people think it’s strange for a girl to be an explorer, then that’s their problem. Not mine.”
