<p>★ "With vibrant visuals and an incisive narrative, this compelling new look at the Age of Exploration is a first purchase for children’s nonfiction collections."</p>
School Library Journal, Starred Review
<p>"All the harrowing hardship, and a good dose of historical perspective to boot."</p>
Kirkus Reviews
The race for riches is on, and one bold expedition is about to make history. The Voyage That Changed the World follows Ferdinand Magellan’s journey around the globe – and shines a light on the people who helped shape it, including Enrique de Malacca, the Malay interpreter whose story has been left out for far too long.
This extraordinary non-fiction adventure takes readers on a journey through stormy seas, strange lands and high-stakes encounters, revealing the triumphs and tensions of the world’s first circumnavigation. Along the way, it invites children to think critically about empire, exploration and the voices that history too often leaves behind.
Written and illustrated with boldness and sensitivity by Thekla Priebst, this is a powerful retelling that reclaims a global story for a new generation. Perfect for readers aged 8 and up who are ready to look beyond the textbook and into the real past.
Set off on the first journey around the world and discover a story full of courage, teamwork and unexpected twists. The Voyage That Changed the World introduces readers to the people who made history - including Enrique de Malacca, whose role in the expedition is only just being recognised.
