Around the World with J and Ju: A Hilarious Kids' Adventure Story About Travel, Bravery, New Friends and the Joy of Exploring Our Amazing World: A Fun

What if a golden envelope arrived and changed everything?

When J from Mumbai and Ju from London each receive a mysterious golden envelope, they are chosen for the World Explorer Programme - and the adventure of a lifetime begins.

Travelling through seven countries with the extraordinary Dr. Mira (a woman whose hat is covered in badges from every country on Earth), J and Ju discover:

• WHY travel is the best thing you can do for your brain - seven surprising reasons, explained through story


• The Travel Feelings - nervous, excited, homesick, brave, confused and full of joy - and why every single one is useful


• The Traveller's Code - the golden Do's and Don'ts every explorer must know


• Fact or Fib? - a hilarious travel quiz where Ju gets outsmarted by a camel


• The wildest ways to get around the world - from maglev trains that float on magnets to a magnificently smelly camel named Gerald

But most of all, they discover something no textbook can teach: the world is enormous, and beautiful, and full of kindness - and there is room in it for everyone.

Gerald the Camel rates this adventure 9/10. (J gave it 100/10 and named the camel. Gerald seemed pleased.)
