Excerpt from Scum Island: Stand for Truth No Matter the Cost © Copyright 2023 Michael Lee

Clad in tactical gear and armed with an assortment of weapons, he surveyed the area, his eyes scanning for any signs of movement. The sun hung low in the sky, casting eerie shadows that danced across the decimated landscape.

Silently, he moved through the remains of what once looked like a thriving town, his footsteps masked by the eerie silence that hung in the air. The distant sound of gunfire and explosions echoed through the surroundings, a haunting symphony of chaos. With each step, he grew more aware of the tension building within him, the adrenaline coursing through his veins like liquid fire.

Up ahead, a flicker of movement caught his attention. Crouching behind a burnt-out car, he watched as an enemy cautiously surveyed the area. The man, dressed in a uniform that mirrored his own but in a different color, was unaware of the imminent threat closing in on him.

Without hesitation, the lone warrior leaped forward, his finger tightly gripping the trigger of his assault rifle. A hail of bullets erupted from the muzzle, tearing through the air with deadly precision. The enemy crumpled to the ground, his lifeless body evidence to the skills and determination of his attacker. The shots echoed through the ruins, a grim reminder of the life-and-death struggle in this forsaken place.

Top 6+ Children’s Books about Sea Adventures

Joel Stafford — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 09:25:18 +0000

Sea adventures are like bedtime stories whispered by the waves: they teach us to be brave when the waters get rough and remind us that the most magical treasures are found not in chests, but in the friendships we make during the voyage.

As a lifelong lover of the ocean and its mysteries, I've always been drawn to stories that capture the essence of sea adventures. Through my journey of exploring children’s literature, I've come across some truly enchanting books that not only tell thrillingg tales of the sea but also impart valuable lessons and insights. These stories often go beyond mere entertainment; they become a medium for young readers to learn about courage, friendship, and the importance of respecting nature.

What Are Some Special Elements in Sea Adventure Kids Books?

Sea adventure books for children often contain several unique elements that set them apart from other genres. Firstly, they usually feature rich, vivid descriptions of the marine environment, bringing to life the beauty and vastness of the ocean. This not only fuels the imagination but also fosters a deep appreciation for the natural world. Secondly, these stories often include elements of fantasy and mythology, incorporating mermaids, sea monsters, and enchanted islands, which add a layer of wonder and excitement.

Sea adventure stories are often about journeys, both literal and metaphorical. Characters embark on quests that challenge them and force them to grow, mirroring the developmental journey of their young readers. Through these journeys, themes of bravery, resilience, and self-discovery are commonly explored. Additionally, these books frequently emphasize the value of teamwork and cooperation, as characters often have to work together to navigate the challenges of the sea.

Here are my top picks for children's books about sea adventures, each a treasure in its own right.

What Are The Top Kids Books about Sea Adventures?

Sailor Joe and the Mermaid (Sailor Joe's Adventures), by Joel Howard and Kelly Hinde (2023)

Sailor Joe, while swabbing the deck of a ship at sea, encounters a mermaid who leads him on an enchanting undersea journey. He experiences stunning seascapes and discovers abundant treasure, but his adventure is not without peril.

Joe must navigate through dangerous sea creatures to safely return to his ship. As he learns valuable lessons about courage and friendship, the story also subtly teaches children about marine life and the importance of respecting the ocean's wonders.

Recommended for children aged 3-9 years, this book captivates young readers with its fabulous illustrations, adding a vivid visual dimension to the magical story.

The Great Storm Whale, by Benji Davies (2023)

In this charming children's book, Noi's grandmother recounts a captivating tale of a deep and enduring friendship between a young girl and a whale, forged many storms ago. This narrative, rich in themes of perseverance and fresh starts, unexpectedly intertwines with Noi's own life story, revealing a poignant connection. As Noi listens, he finds inspiration and courage to face his own challenges, learning that the bonds of friendship, like the vast ocean, are timeless and boundless.

This installment in the beloved Storm Whale series is a heartfelt celebration of the enduring tales and love that traverse generations, resonating through time. It gently introduces themes of environmental awareness and the importance of nurturing our natural world.

Hope at Sea, by Daniel Miyares (2021)

Hope, a young girl with a longing for adventure, secretly stows away on her father's 19th-century merchant vessel, eager to be part of the exciting sea voyages she has always heard about in his stories.

As the journey begins, the weather turns treacherous, posing the question of whether this adventure might be too thrilling.

This beautifully illustrated picture book not only follows Hope's daring escapade but also tenderly portrays the loving bond between a father and his daughter.

Sea Serpent of Science (Junkyard Adventures), by Tevin Hansen (2019)

Sea Serpent of Science is a fast-paced chapter book for kids aged 8-11, similar to the Magic Tree House series. It features Eli and Grace who return to Uncle Larry’s Antique Shop & Junkyard.

This time, their adventure takes them underwater, guided by Shel, a sea serpent and marine biologist. They encounter various marine creatures like pufferfish, blobfish, and sharks, and face a challenge with a huge Megalodon shark.

The book combines elements of science and marine biology in an engaging scavenger hunt narrative, making it a hit among teachers, parents, and kids.

Pirates Past Noon (Magic Tree House), by Mary Pope Osborne (1994)

In this high-seas adventure, protagonists Jack and Annie are transported by the Magic Tree House to an era of deserted islands, hidden treasure maps, and fearsome pirates. The story teases the excitement of uncovering buried treasures and the peril of pirate encounters, hinting at a thrilling journey. This update underscores the series' broad appeal, emphasizing that there is a Magic Tree House book suitable for every child.

I'm a big fan of the Magic Tree House series, and this pirate-themed adventure is particularly engaging. It's not just a fun story; it's also educational, introducing young readers to historical facts about piracy in an accessible way.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by C.S. Lewis (1994)

For a little bit older kids and middle grade readers the fifth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, it stands out for its seafaring adventure and profound themes. The story follows Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, as they join Prince Caspian on an epic voyage aboard the ship Dawn Treader. Their mission is to find the seven lost lords of Narnia, which leads them through uncharted waters filled with magical creatures, sinister enemies, and islands harboring ancient secrets.

What makes this book particularly appealing to this age group is not just its thrilling adventure but also the way it weaves in themes of personal growth, redemption, and courage. Eustace's transformation from a sulky, selfish boy into a braver and kinder person is especially compelling, resonating with readers undergoing their own changes during these formative years. The vivid descriptions of the Narnian world, combined with Lewis's unique blend of mythology, Christianity, and traditional fairy tale elements, make this a rich and multidimensional read. It's a book that not only entertains but also invites deeper reflection on bravery, loyalty, and the nature of good and evil.

Treasure Island (Illustrated), by Robert Louis Stevenson (2011 originally released in 1883)

A quintessential pirate adventure, this novel introduces young Jim Hawkins who finds a treasure map and sets sail on a dangerous voyage to recover pirate treasure. It's a great introduction to classic literature for middle grade readers.

A classic adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, first appeared as a series in the children's magazine Young Folks from 1881-82 and was later published as a book in 1883. Known for its vivid depiction of pirates and buried treasure, the story is a blend of thrilling adventure, character development, and a subtle critique of moral ambiguity, particularly embodied in the character Long John Silver.

This coming-of-age tale has been widely adapted in various formats, significantly influencing popular pirate imagery, including treasure maps marked with an X, tropical islands, and iconic pirate characters like one-legged seamen with parrots. Stevenson's work stands out for its ability to intertwine excitement with a complex look at morality, making it a timeless piece in both children's and general literature.

Exploring the Ocean Through Literature

In my view, sea adventure books hold a special charm for kids because they combine real-world wonders with a dash of fantasy. The ocean is a massive, mysterious playground where anything seems possible. Kids read about pirates, hidden treasures, and mythical creatures, and it's like the sea gives these stories a green light to push boundaries. This isn't just fun; it nudges kids to think big and dream beyond their backyards.

I also feel that these stories are great for teaching kids about resilience and teamwork without sounding like a lecture. Characters in these books often face tough situations, like storms or getting lost. Kids see them figuring things out, working with others, and not giving up. It's a subtle way of showing kids how to handle challenges in their own lives.

I think sea adventures open a window to learning about the environment in a way that's gripping for kids. They get to ‘meet' all sorts of sea creatures and learn about different ecosystems without it feeling like a classroom lesson. It's a clever way to get kids interested in science and nature, helping them become more aware and caring about the world around them.

Final Thoughts in Kids Sea Adventure Books

These above books are much more than simple tales of the high seas; they are vessels of imagination that sail young readers to the farthest reaches of the mind. Each story is a gateway to new horizons where the depths of the ocean reflect the depths of personal growth and understanding.

As children turn the pages, they are not just following the protagonists on maritime quests, they are also charting their own course through life's waters, learning that the most treasured spoils are the lessons of heart and humanity.

These books teach us to navigate with compassion, to face storms with bravery, and to treasure every moment of the journey. So, let your sails be unfurled by the winds of these sea adventures, and may your compass always point towards new, enlightening escapades.

Top 8 Short Adventure Books for Teens For 2023

Alyson Wilson — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 12:46:38 +0000

Adventure books piqued my interest significantly during my teenage years. They were an absolute blast based on how they would transport my mind into a thrilling world packed with mystery, avidness, and unending possibilities.

These captivating tales would ignite my imagination and whisk me into heart-pounding quests paired with heroes and heroines.

I am a teen parent now, and my son seems to have followed in my footsteps. He will grab any book featuring an adventurous plot. Such stories are not just for escapism. I consider them excellent for him to nurture essential life skills such as resilience and problem-solving techniques.

Do you know a teenager, or are you a curious one looking for wonder sparks? This list of adventure books for teens features modern and classic titles for a journey towards that far-off land.

What Are Some Captivating Adventure Reads for Teens?

Sean and Irene’s Biscuitless Adventure, by John McCallum (2023)

Sean and Irene’s Biscuitless Adventure might be less than twenty pages, but it is a tale that excellently captures and depicts what resilience means. You will love how McCallum has weaved the characters in the story with a captivating bond.

In the book, you get into an intense experience in a rugged wilderness. As you navigate, you come across unforgiving elements and extreme and unexpected challenges while helping the characters pursue famous biscuits.

Expect to get in touch with what the human spirit means, but also be ready to have fun as you accept various life adventures.

I love that this book is short but excellently crafted for a perfect reading experience with an adventure that breeds unexpected connections. It is an excellent addition for any teen looking to build new relationships and bonds.

The Returned One, by Luna Fox (2021)

There is no doubt that teens love fantasy adventures, which made this book make the cut on my list. But this was not the only motivation. This book gives a glimpse of how anxiety can impact teenagers.

What would you do if your past started returning and you wanted to remember everything? This is the basis of this story. I love how it is packed with endearing characters, unexpected twists, and magic. There is no better way to build a fantasy adventure, right?

Meet Abigael, who’s terrorized by nightmares. She becomes a total mess, and to escape this and her anxiety, she goes to her aunt’s. But this only builds up a lot more, making her discover certain secrets.

This story caught my interest from the first page, and getting its revelation didn’t take time. The pace is excellent, and the words flow well. Luna has excellently developed the characters, who I found very likable. This read is a fantastic start to the “A Witch’s Lullaby” series. I strongly recommend it for 12-18 year olds.

Drift: Willa & Koy, by Adrienne Young (2023)

I suggest you read this book if you are 12-18 years old and love a meticulously crafted plot. It is the story of Willa.

Go on an adventure with her after she decides to leave behind her family, hoping to make a new start. But this will not go as she plans. She meets a new business partner, Koy, with whom they forge a relationship. What Willa doesn’t know is that she may need him more than she anticipates.

They both decide to advance their adventure towards Jeval. However, when Willa receives the news that the family she left behind might be in trouble, things take a different turn.

Drift is a short but compelling read packed with emotion and depicts hard work's importance.

Like myself, you will love Willa and Koy’s brevity and courage towards their course, regardless of the many tests they experience.

The book is exceptionally relatable for anyone finding their self-worth. It is suspenseful, romantic, and gritty to pull you in, especially if you have read other entries by Adrienne- Fable, Namesake, and The Last Legacy. I, however, consider this entry a more significant continuation with its unfamiliar trials and an open ending.

The Call of the Wild, by Jack London (2023)

Societal pressure is a significant concern among teens, so I felt the need to add this short adventure that addresses the issue of fitting in.

This book is definitely an excellent choice if you enjoy animated adventure stories. It will also appeal to you if you are a devotee of American literature.

Jack tells the story using a heroic dog named Buck, a half-Scottish and half-St. Bernard sheepdog.

During the violent days of the Alaska gold rush, Buck is forced into a cruel life as a sled dog. He has to choose which way to embrace- whether to live in a man’s world or return to nature.

Even though Jack uses a dog as the main character, I love how he fits its relations perfectly to speak to young adults and teens.

With this book, you will ponder the importance of decision-making. You will enjoy how Buck goes on an adventure while fighting to survive and how he eventually grows from a wild wolf dog to a domestic dog.

The Prophecy, by Raine Thomas (2011)

The Prophecy is a thrilling adventure if you love an action-packed tale or enjoy romantic themes. Set in an Estilorian world, this story features a fantastic plot as you go on a journey with Saraqael and his love, Kate.

Saraqael doesn’t intend to fall for Kate. She is human and, unlike his kind, who are emotionless and can’t have human attachments. But at some point, Kate is almost dying, and neither doctors nor Saraqael can save her.

He does the unexpected and sets off on a risky adventure with Quincy. But this is a dangerous quest as it may alter the future of Saraqael’s kind forever.

I love how The Prophecy allows you to think about love, loyalty, and genuine friendship. Be the judge of whether or not some sacrifices we make for others are worthy.

I have read all the books in Raine’s Estilorian series, but I love this particular entry because it gives a better perspective of how the Estilorians live and how their minds work.

Escape to Lostman’s River, by John McKillop (2023)

This is not a book to put down. The suspense, danger, and countless feel-good moments will surely keep you hooked. It is an excellent addition that teaches fifteen-year-olds the importance of enjoying quality time with family.

Matthew is spending the summer as his uncle’s fishing guide, where he sharpens his angler skills. Ready to go for his first fishing tournament, he wants to win cash to purchase an airboat.

But one day, he unlikely encounters cranky smugglers. That’s when he makes a daring escape. But returning home alive seems challenging and risky with all the creatures.

Go on this adventure and see whether Matthew’s skills will get him home, assist him in impressing a girl, living up to his father, and catching bigger fish.

If you are an angler, you will immensely enjoy the scenery details, the knowledge of the tides and fishing lures, and the relationships the characters forge.

Extreme Ice Adventure, by Jake Maddox (2020)

Are you a sporty teen? If so, then this book is for you. Maddox delivers a fantastic story, particularly for anyone in the twelve-year bracket.

Nita and Sohail are delighted following their scholarship win as Alaska Young Explorers program attendees. If they win the money, they can use it to assist their families, so they are both determined to be as competitive as possible.

However, things change when the two are paired to go on an expedition. They find themselves in a dangerous area while hiking down a glacier. For them to survive the wilderness, they must join forces.

As most children get into their teenage years, they tend to isolate themselves and prefer being alone. But I love how this book accurately depicts that sometimes we need help, and depending on someone else is not something to shy away from.

A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park (2010)

First, I love that this book is based on a true story featuring Nya and Salva. You might find it heartbreaking initially, but its happy ending is something to anticipate. Linda has written an authentic story, and her descriptive writing is highly engaging.

The book tells Salva and Nya’s stories, who are both in different parts of Sudan. These two tales are told in alternating sections (1985 and 2008), but Linda has excellently put the dimensions together to create a captivating story. Salva and Nya’s stories intersect as they get around mortal dangers to better their lives and those of others.

As a pre-teen or over ten years old, this book is excellent if you love adventure built within historical action. It will make you grateful for your blessings as you admire Salva’s courage and perseverance.

Final Thoughts

If adventurous and short escapades are something you would like to smash through as a teen, you should grab any of the short books for teens on this list. They are befitting even if you want to begin indulging in short adventures to get out of that comfort zone.

Whether you want to become a spy, navigate dangerous lands, pull through harrowing experiences, or fight villains, there’s something for you.
