Publisher's Synopsis
'Rise Up' tells the stories of girls and boys from around the world and the challenges they have faced and overcome. It features amazing tales of those who have achieved the unimaginable - whether their story is of sailing single-handedly around the world at the age of 14, surviving a plane crash in the jungle or a shark attack while surfing. There are tales of triumphing over illness and injury, and of fighting against the plastic in our oceans. Entries include Ellie Simmons, Boyan Slat and Phiona Mutesi, to name a few.
