Join Paws the Panda and her best friends on their biggest adventure yet as they travel through a magical Time Portal to explore more than 100 incredible ghost towns and historic places across six continents!
Guided by their new friend Brian the Sea Otter, the team journeys through forgotten mining towns, abandoned villages, ancient cities, volcanic islands, Arctic settlements, jungle temples, mountain communities, desert towns, and historic ports where they uncover the amazing stories of the people who once lived there.
Along the way, readers will discover:
Ancient civilizations and long-forgotten cities
Gold, silver, copper, coal, and diamond mining communities
Historic railroads, ports, and trading centers
Castles, temples, forts, and archaeological treasures
Volcanoes, deserts, rainforests, mountains, glaciers, and coastlines
Wildlife and ecosystems that returned after people moved away
Geography, geology, engineering, architecture, archaeology, and world history
How communities change-and why preserving history matters
Every stop begins in the present day before Brian opens the magical Time Portal, allowing the friends to experience each location during its most exciting moment in history. They meet the people who lived there, learn how communities grew, discover why they changed, and return to the present to see how these remarkable places are protected today.
Filled with adventure, laughter, teamwork, beautiful illustrations, and fascinating educational facts, Paws the Panda and Friends Explore: Ghost Towns Around the World inspires young readers to become curious explorers who appreciate history, respect different cultures, and care for the incredible places that tell the story of our world.
