Dive into two action-packed adventures!

In Arctic Adventure, Hal and Roger Hunt are asked by their father to find unusual animals for his collection. In this harsh, freezing environment, they survive killer whales, grizzly bears and a wild storm but an evil man may turn out to be the deadliest threat the boys have to face.

In Safari Adventure, the boys are hot on the trail of a dangerous gang of poachers when they join forces with Mark Crosby, the warden of the Tsavo national park in Kenya.
