Friday, May 17, 2024 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video the word nerd Amanda Zieba reads aloud from the first book in National Geographic’s Explorer Academy series, The Nebula Secret by Trudi Trueit. If you love adventure and travel, but are feeling stuck at home, then this book is PERFECT for you. So buckle up and ride along as we go on this adventurous, dangerous, and thrilling global mission.

Blurb: Cruz leaves his tranquil home in Hawaii to join 23 talented kids from around the globe to train at the Explorer Academy with the world's leading scientists to become the next generation of great explorers. But for Cruz, there's more at stake. No sooner has he arrived at the Academy than he discovers that his family has a mysterious past with the organization that could jeopardize his future. In the midst of codebreaking and cool classes, new friends, and augmented reality expeditions, Cruz must tackle the biggest question of all: Who is out to get him, and why?
