Jules Verne 
In Search of the Castaways 
the Children of Captain Grant

This race-against-the-clock adventure features a mutiny, castaways on a remote island, earthquakes, whale hunting, dastardly villains, man against the elements, a rescue mission, and offbeat humor. There’s never a dull moment as ‘The Children of Captain Grant’ search the globe for their long-lost father and brother.

A propos de l’auteur

Jules Gabriel Verne was a French author who pioneered the genre of science-fiction. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. He is the second most translated author of all time, behind Agatha Christie. His prominent novels have been made into films. Verne, along with H. G. Wells, is often referred to as the ‘Father of Science Fiction’.
