Just finished reading @al_humphreys #GirlWhoRowedTheOcean with kids. I thought it rather successful, more so than #TheBoyWhoBikedTheWorld to some extent.

It's surprising how rare it (still!) is for girls to feature in adventure stories like these and I thought he made a decent job of raising some really important issues (biodiversity loss, over fishing, pollution, climate etc) in a very natural and non-preachy way.

Recommended also for schools, lots of teaching materials online
