Looking for adventure

de Stephen Backshall

How do you become an explorer? It's a question every child has asked. And Steve Backshall was no different. Where were the new frontiers and the undiscovered places? What was left out there to explore? The vast, untamed wildness of Papua New Guinea was where Backshall forged his unlikely path. From crushing lows of early failures to the extraordinary highs of the BBC's Lost land of the volcano expedition, it was this dark island which gave Backshall his opportunity. Full of incredible wildlife, extraordinary wilderness, jungles, cannibals, pitfalls, triumph, danger and excitement, Looking for adventure is the irresistible, inspiring story of a little boy who let his heart rule his head and, against the odds, grew up to lead the life he had always dreamed of.
