Adventure, comedy, climate science - all in one unforgettable journey through Brazil.

Set sail with Captain Polo and his trusty sidekick, Penguin, in this 5th book in the acclaimed Adventures of Captain Polo series. What promises to be a simple journey to finally return Penguin to his Antarctic home spirals into a gripping chase to stop Polo's new nemesis, Tex Greedyman, a ruthless oil tycoon with shady plans.

From the vast Amazon rainforest to the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro and beyond, Polo and Penguin's journey is packed with action and discovery. Whether struggling on the roof of Sugar Loaf Mountain's legendary cable car, escaping a raging bull at a cattle auction in Brazil's southern ranchlands, or learning about nature-based climate solutions in the lush Atlantic Forest, every twist in their adventure reveals new wonders and challenges. Along the way, they uncover pressing environmental issues but also find hope in inspiring community-driven innovations for climate action.

Filled with humour, thrilling escapades, and eye-opening insights, Polo in Brazil combines fast-paced storytelling with a deeper understanding of geography, climate change, and cultural diversity. With accurate maps, authentic cultural details, and a completely new edition of Captain Polo's Classroom glossary to demystify key concepts, this is a book that both teaches and entertains.

Dive into the most exciting chapter of Captain Polo's journey yet! Explore Brazil's rich landscapes, marvel at Penguin's antics, and learn how people and nature are working together for a brighter future. The Adventures of Captain Polo: Polo in Brazil is a thrilling and thought-provoking read for the whole family!
