Since its inception, the series has gained immense popularity among children and adults alike, owing to its witty humour and clever approach to teaching geography.

From the perishing poles to desperate deserts, stormy weather to earth-shattering earthquakes, these books are crammed full of far-out facts.

Freaky Peaks takes the intrepid young explorer on a thrilling tour of the tallest mountains - from Everest to Kilimanjaro - encountering many dangers along the way, including glaciers, yetis, and avalanches. Horrible Geography: Odious Oceans, Violent Volcanoes and Stormy Weather won the Geographical Association Silver Award in 1999.

Each book in the 12 book collection focuses on one area from Peaks to Ocean or Rainforests to Desserts. Horrible Geography is a series of children non-fiction books designed to get children interested in geography by concentrating on insignificant, surprising, savage or unpleasant.A review in the journal Nature praised the series (along with Horrible Science) for its "sense of fun" alongside the educational content, but noted that the facts provided are occasionally misleading. In this series, you'll find out things like: what happens when a volcano turns nasty; whether you'd survive at the frozen poles; and how a frog can help you get a drink in the desert. Wave goodbye to boring geography lessons with these fascinating books from the publisher of Horrible Histories. You may have heard of the Horrible History series, but did you know there is also a Horrible Geography Series? Plunge into this book to get the flabbergasting facts on how different lakes are formed – from volcanoes, plate movement, glaciers or wandering rivers.

It is a new commission from the RSGS, and is available exclusively from us, with all profits supporting our charitable work.At the moment in geography, history and science we have a theme of Mesoamerica from volcanoes and Mayans to the Galapagos Islands and evolution so 2 of the books in the collection are perfect for incorporating into our morning read aloud books as we study in more depth and read around the subjects. Bursting with energy and colour, this is the story of the inspirational C19th Scottish climate scientist told in an exciting new way for young secondary school students. It’s such a fun presentation of the facts combined with a jolly good laugh that I’m finding my daughter is connecting the bits, improving her knowledge and extending her vocabulary way more than just by teaching facts to her. We already have the Horrible History and Horrible Science collections (which we purchased ourselves in 2020 from Books2Doors) and these books follow a familiar format for us and are ideal for extending the knowledge both for our eldest who is in school and youngest who we home educator.
