Mathilda Masters is an explorer. She discovers new continents and countries for a living. That is not easy because most countries have already been discovered. When Matilda is not exploring, she writes about her adventures. And if these adventures aren’t adventurous enough, she just invents new stories. Louize Perdieus studied graphic design at the Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp. Her illustrations are spiced up with humour and appreciated by people of all ages.

Arend van Dam

Discover where the floor is lava

Surprising stories on volcanoes

Mixes fiction and non-fiction in a playful way

How dangerous are volcanoes? To answer this question, Arend van Dam plunged into the world of lava, magma and rains of fire. He visited the active mount Fagradallsfjall in Iceland, learned about myths about the Hawaiian goddess Pele who is rumoured to live inside the krater of the Kīlauea, and discovered how Mount Tambora changed the course of world history.

With an interesting mix of travel records, scientific findings, anecdotes, myths and sagas, Arend van Dam takes his readers on a journey to the most exciting volcanoes in the world.

Together with illustrator Alex de Wolf, he was awarded a Zilveren Griffel for his story book A Long Time Ago... (Lang geleden...) as well as for his much-appraised children's book The journey of Syntax Bosselman (De reis van Syntax Bosselman).
