Virginia is for Adventurers by Tara Z. Fisher follows Meg’s family in a scavenger hunt across their state. 10-year-old Meg, her annoying brother, Max, her sister, Melanie, and her parents embark on the 10-day adventure, hoping to emerge victorious. Each day the participants have specific instructions and clues for how and where to go and what to do.

The scavenger hunt begins at seven in the morning, and the first clue is to travel to a "Wise town" known for its kind people, and a few other leads are given. It is up to Meg and her family to figure out fast and timely where the location is, get there, and find the subsequent instructions. Along the hunt, Meg and her family make new friends. However, as the adventure continues, two bullies emerge out of the blue and begin making the hunt hard for Meg, her siblings, and her new friends. What will happen? Will they stand up to the bullies?

First, I applaud Tara Z. Fisher for taking me across Virginia. I have never been there, but the adventures in the book made me familiarize myself with the state. I loved the thorough descriptions of the distinct places Meg and the others traversed. Did you know there is a "Devil's Bathtub" in Scott County, Virginia? Well, now you do.

I learned immensely about various disciplines. For instance, a botanic guide explains to Meg and the rest how some toxic plants can be used to prevent and heal certain diseases. Plus, I gained historical knowledge. Did you know seven presidents of the United States were born in Virginia? Which ones are they? I learned about the scandal surrounding George Washington's place of birth. In addition, a region in Virginia has a unique accent from the rest of the United States. What place is it? Grab a copy and learn facts!

The book was exceptionally edited, as I noted no errors. I discovered nothing to loathe. Hence, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars and 5 out of 5 stars. While the characters are fictional, the places are real. I searched them up on Google to read more fascinating facts. I recommend the volume to kids who enjoy exhilarating outdoor adventures.
