Inspired by the fascinating work and real adventures of National Geographic Society explorers, the second title in the Explorer Academy series invites you to board the ship Orion, where Cruz Coronado and his team of loyal friends continue to experience adventures beyond their wildest dreams (including an up-close encounter with whales, inspired by the experiences of veteran explorer and underwater photographer Brian Skerry!).

Explorer Academy: The Falcon’s Featheris the exciting follow-up to The Nebula Secret, the smash hit which kids are calling “action-packed,” “gripping,” and “one of the best books I have ever read!” It immerses young audiences in a captivating tale of intrigue and fast-paced action as the team navigates the world of the Explorer Academy while also trying to solve the second piece of a puzzle that may have cost Cruz’s mother her life. Whether it is cracking hidden codes or reaching the northernmost point of human civilization, Explorer Academy will continue to excite every young explorer and fan alike.
