Avery is a little curious child who simply loves history and... can travel in it! Every title is an adventure in history bringing together fiction and non-fiction: follow the "fictional" story of Avery and his friends and learn history with the special in-depth non fiction spreads. Each volume is a great adventure that's just about to begin! Follow him in his adventures with the Vikings and in the Middle Ages, as well as along his days in Rome, Greece, Egypt and with the Aztecs. A new special format bringing together fiction (with the fun adventures of Avery) and non-fiction spreads focusing on the main assets of the cultures of each historical period.
