The second book in Abi Elphinstone’s Unmapped Chronicles series has been revealed… JUNGLEDROP! Following from the first in the series, Rumblestar, Jungledrop is a story about glow-in-the-dark rainforests, gobblequick trees and golden panthers, but it’s also a story about being kind – to others, to our planet and, perhaps hardest of all, to ourselves. Jungledrop will be out from Simon & Schuster Kids in Spring 2020.
