A Tale of an Ancient Captain's Log and Naturalist Expedition

August, 1500. After violent storms scatter their fleet below the Cape of Storms, a Portuguese ship fights hunger, sickness, and despair. Drinking water is nearly gone, scurvy spreads through the crew, and mutiny looms. Then, through the morning mist, land appears-an unknown island unlike any marked on their charts. By authority of King Manuel I, the captain names it S�o Louren�o, though the world will one day know it as Madagascar.

Written in the voice of a sixteenth-century ship captain's journal, Mr. Robert's Madagascar is a richly illustrated historical adventure that brings young readers into one of history's great age-of-exploration moments. Guided by a mysterious islander, the crew ventures into Madagascar's shadowed forests in search of life-saving fresh water, where they encounter astonishing wildlife: ring-tailed lemurs, leaf-tailed geckos, giraffe-necked beetles, chameleons, crocodiles, giant tortoises, brilliant frogs, and creatures so strange they seem born of myth. Blending historical fiction, natural science, and exploration, this immersive journey introduces readers to Madagascar's remarkable biodiversity while capturing the peril, wonder, and discovery of the Age of Exploration.

Mr. Robert's Wilderness Habitat Discovery Journal series introduces wildlife habitats around the world to elementary-middle school readers with the help of an historic character. Each journal describes a unique wildlife habitat by blending history, physical and natural science, and reading comprehension into an informative story. As a result, the books can be adjunct to classroom or home school curriculum to approach a web of related topics.

Perfect for readers who love adventure, history, geography, animals, and survival stories.
