The Locators: Adventure in Oceania Is a
Hands-On Experience for Budding Map Enthusiasts
Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS)
software, today announced the publication of The Locators:
Adventure in Oceania, a sequel to The Locators: Adventure in South
America.
The Locators: Adventure in Oceania follows two children, Lucy
and Oliver, and their pet, Moe the Parrot, as they solve problems
using maps, technology, and spatial thinking. After their adventure
in South America, the trio arrive in Oceania determined to address
challenges using a geographic approach—from finding and growing
healthy coral on Australia's Great Barrier Reef to rescuing unique
species in danger from wildfire in New South Wales. Readers embark
on adventures with the team including going on ocean scuba dives,
exploring a wombat's burrow, and following a pod of whales.
Using maps and clues, readers help the Locators at each step of
their journey by completing the illustrated activities in every
chapter. Written by Esri's Kyle Bauer, Colleen Conner, and Wesley
Jones, the book encourages critical and spatial thinking while also
reinforcing reading comprehension and vocabulary.
The Locators is ideal for children aged 8–11 years who love
exploring geography and the world around them, and is filled with
fun; full-color illustrations; activities; and facts about
endangered species, habitats, and more.
The Locators: Adventure in Oceania is available in print (ISBN:
978158947567, 120 pages, US$19.99) and as an ebook (ISBN:
9781589487574, US$19.99). Both editions can be obtained from most
online retailers worldwide. Interested retailers can contact Esri
Press book distributor Ingram Publisher Services.
