Details about the Switzerland Adventure Book

‘Are you ready to have the time of your life? We are gonna go adventuring in the picturesque country of Switzerland! This is the country of Swiss chocolate, cheese fondues, and snowy mountains. It’s the land of skiing, the Matterhorn and William Tell, cowbells and alp-horns, plus secret bunkers and hidden cannons from World War II. Grab your passport and let’s go traveling!’

You can use this book as a springboard for your students to delve into a study of Switzerland and its unique history. Switzerland Adventure contains a variety of fun activities, as well as lots of information about the country.

Your children will learn about the culture of Switzerland, their festivals, traditional dress, landmarks, music and languages. They’ll read about the currency, the cuisine, the animals, and the people.

There are jokes and conversation starters about Switzerland, as well as fun facts: like ‘the Swiss invented Velcro, the zipper, the Swiss army knife, the potato peeler, chocolate, and the bobsled track!’ Your kids will enjoy learning about Swiss Army knives, the bears in Bern, and the Geneva lakes.

Details about the Cuckoo Clock Secrets in Switzerland Novel

“There was a cracking noise and the crumbling of mortar. Rome put his Swiss army knife to work and carefully ran it around the edge of the stone, scraping away the plaster. He signalled to Ren, who pulled harder. Suddenly the whole stone came away from the wall. Together, they slid it out and gazed at the gaping hole that was left behind.”

Travel with Serenity, Rome, Jake, Libby and Tiffany as they discover an ancient coin and a mystery connected with a cuckoo clock which takes them to the beautiful land of Switzerland. In their quest to solve the puzzle they unearth some fascinating history and recover a lost fortune!

At the end of each chapter is a Discovery Agent Mission for your kids to complete – a fun activity that they can do at home.

This engaging novel touches on church history during the time of the reformation and takes its readers on a tour of Switzerland while solving the mystery of the Cuckoo Clock. Your kids will learn about the Reformers and post tenebras lux, which was a phrase translated as light after darkness, used by John Calvin.
