The series that began with The Polar Bear Explorers’ Club continues to enthral young readers.
There’s a rescue mission at the centre of this episode as villainous collector Scarlett Sauvage has taken ice princess Stella captive. Stella’s friends, led by half-mermaid Ursula, must rescue her and stop the Collector before her wicked plans change their world forever.
The story features swamp monsters, space moles and sea goblins, but the glue that holds it all together is the friendship between our band of explorers. Full of magic, but with an environmental message too, this is thrilling and hugely enjoyable reading, expect to see young readers swept up into the story and completely engrossed in the magic!

About
Explorers at Stardust City Synopsis
Directly below was a sight none of them had ever seen before - a kind of spiral, with glowing ruby-red lights that curved outwards like tentacles. In the middle was a dark circle, inky black. It had the look of a really, really deep well.
Ursula and her friends are in a race against time. The Collector has taken Stella captive, and is hungrily snatching up all the beautiful places of the world in her snow globe prisons. She needs to be stopped, but first they must find her.
To aid them in their quest, the explorers seek help from new allies, including a Pirate Queen, with a ghost ship that can defy time and space, and then take to the skies in a galaxy fairy rocket. But their journey is fraught with danger, as the future of the planet hangs in the balance.
Escape into a sensational world filled with space moles, sea goblins and giant sharks, all covered with a sprinkling of moon dust!
