Discover the incredible true stories of children who have changed how we see the world.

From fossilised creatures and ancient treasures to mysterious scrolls and glimmering gems, Young Discoverers is a thrilling collection of real-life tales about some of the most astonishing discoveries ever made and the young people who made them.

Travel through time and across continents to uncover:

  • A prehistoric monster hidden in the cliffs of England
  • The boy who uncovered the first step to the tomb of Tutankhamun, leading to one of the most famous archaeological discoveries of all time
  • A glittering gold nugget that sparked America’s first gold rush - found by twelve-year-old Conrad
  • A Viking Sword pulled from a lake in Sweden by an eight-year-old girl
  • The world’s biggest star sapphire, once used as a doorstop in Australia!


…And many more jaw-dropping discoveries!

In each of the twelve tales, you meet the young person at the heart of the discovery – following them through the twists and the turns of their adventure. The children and teenagers you meet may have come from different places and lived at different times in history, but they all have something in common – a curiosity for the world around them!

Some of our young discoverers saw something that seemed out of the ordinary and went to take a closer look, while others felt something strange with their fingers or toes or heard an unexpected sound. One of our heroes even followed his nose all the way to an incredible find.

Fun and engaging, packed with fascinating facts and perfect for fans of history, science, and treasure hunts, this book will inspire curiosity and confidence in young readers and show them that anyone – no matter their age or experience – can make an extraordinary discovery. Find out how in Young Discoverers and get ready to see what mysteries are waiting to be uncovered in your own world.
