Deep in an untamed forest stands a hidden treehouse-with a round wooden door etched with a tiny compass. It's here that the first meeting of the most unexpected explorers takes place: a trumpet-mimicking lyrebird, a jittery yeti crab, a stylish axolotl, and five others, each drawn by a mysterious newspaper ad.As the lanterns flicker and the wind chimes sing, they begin to share tales-real ones. Stories of strange, stunning places: the cedar forests of Lebanon, the deep-sea vents of the Pacific, the misty Highlands of Scotland.But as the stories unfold, so does something deeper.A rich, witty blend of fantasy, geography, and heart, The Unusual Explorers Club is a love letter to wonder, belonging, and the quiet courage it takes to be truly seen.
