Quest for Z: The True Story of Explorer Percy Fawcett and a Lost City in the Amazon
Quest for Z: The True Story of Explorer Percy Fawcett and a Lost City in the Amazon | Greg Pizzoli
3 posts | 6 read
From an award-winning author comes a picture book biography that feels like Indiana Jones for kids! British explorer Percy Fawcett believed that hidden deep within the Amazon rainforest was an ancient city, lost for the ages. Most people didn't even believe this city existed. But if Fawcett could find it, he would be rich and famous forever. This is the true story of one man's thrilling, dangerous journey into the jungle, and what he found on his quest for the lost city of Z.

Thinking more about nonfiction books & getting students excited about reading them, exploring this vast world we live in. Impossible not to be drawn into Percy Fawcett‘s quest to find the city he called “Z.” This picture book is a great introduction to exploration & the lure of discovery, the resources & manpower required, the Amazon, the dangers & more. Great book for young readers & introduction to truth stranger (or as interesting) as fiction.
