Description

Simon is heading to the Himalayan Mountains of western China, where he'll begin his journey along the Nujiang River and up through coniferous forests into the alpine region. He faces treacherous mountains in the last leg of his trek to find Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys.

Simon Chapman, winner of the Blue Peter Book Award, brings geography to life, and his Expedition Diaries are a great way to introduce the world's biomes and habitats to children, direct from someone who's actually been in them - sometimes up to his neck! These books are perfect for sparking interest in this key school topic.
