Dear Readers, I am very pleased to present our Spring 2020 list! As always, National Geographic Kids Books is on a mission to keep kids aware of and involved with the important issues of our day, such as the environmental impact of single-use plastic. This season, two key titles showcase our Kids vs. Plastic initiative. The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2021, entering its second decade and still our best-selling title of all time, features new content on how readers can tackle the plastic problem in their PAGE own communities and be a part of the pollution solution. And when it comes to 3 appreciating and protecting our planet, there’s no better role model than ocean champion and National Geographic Explorer Sylvia Earle, author of our new book Extreme Ocean. Follow along as Earle dives headfirst into our planet’s biggest natural resource, revealing the amazing diversity of animals and plant life that inhabit it. Fact-based fiction series are going strong in our Under the Stars imprint as the fourth book in the Explorer Academy franchise launches this season with The Star Dunes. Featuring thrilling story lines that get kids excited about science, technology, culture, and code breaking, the action is getting more intense than ever. Join your PAGE favorite characters—Cruz, Lani, Sailor, Emmett, and Bryndis—to see if they can stay 4 one step ahead of Nebula and find the next piece of the hidden cipher. In October we introduced you to a new (and zanier) cast of characters in Zeus the Mighty: The Quest for the Golden Fleas. This season, jump right back into the action as Zeus and his gang of misfit gods enter the underground lair of Hades and encounter their most dangerous foe yet (the furnace) in The Maze of the Menacing Minotaur. What do you get when you combine a blockbuster book series with one of the most captivating kids’ topics? Weird But True! Dinosaurs, of course! It’s certain to be a hit with Jurassic junkies and dino devotees everywhere. PAGE National Geographic Kids enters a whole new arena this season with the launch of 6 It’s a Numbers Game! Basketball. Just in time for playoff season, we’re teaming up with ESPN and former NBA superstar Kobe Bryant to bring you the stats and facts behind your favorite game in this new math-infused sports series. Combining the best of both worlds, this layered approach to fun learning is sure to score points with any sports fan! And finally, we have the perfect book for all those harried parents who are starting to plan their spring break and summer family road trips—and anticipating the dreaded “Are we there yet?” question. The second edition of the best-selling PAGE Ultimate U.S. Road Trip Atlas will entertain car-crazed kiddos with fun and fact-packed 7 ideas for places to visit, along with games and activities. As always, thank you for supporting National Geographic’s mission and our belief in the power of storytelling to change the world. May these books inspire your family to get out and explore!
