Let your little nature-lover take a swing through the rainforest in this conservation-themed fifth instalment of DK's new educational fiction series! Meet the Secret Explorers - a band of brainiac kids from all around the world. Everyone in this diverse group of young experts has a speciality, from outer space to dinosaurs, and each story follows a character who gets chosen for a "secret exploration".
 
The Secret Explorers series is a reminder to kids that they are limited only by their imagination and teaches them that learning is enjoyable! But most of all, these educational books encourage children to believe that they can become experts in something they love.
 
In this fun, fact-filled children's science book, we follow rainforest expert Ollie on an exciting mission to rescue a lost baby orangutan in the steamy rainforest of Borneo. Accompanied by engineering expert Kiki, they set out in a glider to search for the friendly ape. Along the way, they encounter greedy plantation owners who are plotting to destroy the forest to expand a palm oil plantation! They also learn about the threat that endangered animals and plants face due to deforestation.
