I finished a book called Around the World In A Hundred Years, by Jean Fritz. It is about travelers from a really long time ago. Here's a summary.
It took all the powerful traits to brave The Unknown. In the early 1400s, much of the world wasn't discovered, yet. Europeans knew that there were treasure in China and the rest of Asia, but they had no idea how to get there, or what they might run into on their way. Yet some brave men felt they were smart and brave enough to figure it out. This book stars Prince Henry the Navigator, Bartholomew Diaz, Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Pedro Alvares Cabral, Jhon Cabot, Amerigo Vepucci, Juan Ponce de Leon, Vasco Nunez de Balboa, and Ferdinard Magellan. It is about how they created the map of the world, piece by piece.
I liked this book because it shows all the explorers from 1421 to1521 that made a huge contribution to the world of maps. I recommend this book to all the explorers out there, young or old.
