Archer dreams of meeting his grandparents, who were considered missing in Antarctica, but were found and are going home. They are famous explorers, but rumors spread around the city that Archer’s grandparents made up all their adventures and are bringing a snow curse to the city.
And then Archer and his friends begin an investigation, he wants to understand who is spreading rumors and why, and intends to save the good name of his grandparents. Meanwhile, a snowstorm is approaching the city.

But don't worry, Archer has a plan. Well... or almost a plan.

The book is intended for schoolchildren who study in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. They will be very close to the relationships between the guys, they will be inspired by the heroes of the story and how they overcome the circumstances that stand in their way. This is a book about friendship, honesty and honor, standing up for the truth, and the ability to change your ideas if they turn out to be false. The topic of relationships with grandparents is deeply explored. This is an adventure and detective investigation that the guys started.

If you are looking for a book that will teach children to solve serious problems, be persistent, build relationships with each other and with elders, develop the emotional sphere, be able to empathize and take the point of view of another person, but will do this through good literary means, without resorting to didacticism, and by involving readers in live relationships in which there are real feelings, humor, unexpected turns, then the book “No Adventures in Foreseen” will be an excellent choice.

Colorful double-page illustrations and small graphic drawings make the book a real artistic treasure. Nicholas Gannon is a professional illustrator.

The book is bright and sincere. Written from the perspective of children, and well shows the storm of contradictions and emotions that go on in children's souls.
