Not every journey is smooth sailing, as evidenced in the stories shared in the Deadly Expeditions series (4 new titles). These narrative nonfiction graphic novels, each with a different artist, take advantage of the visual format to share accounts of difficult adventures in history. They reference historical materials like diaries, photos, and records to help piece together each journey's pitfalls, which are often weather-related. The Mount Everest Disaster of 1996, though more modern, similarly finds adventurers embarking on an extreme journey riddled with obstacles as they endeavor to reach Everest's summit. Each work concludes with further details of each expedition, a map charting its course, a glossary, and supplemental resources.
