The White Darkness

The White Darkness by Geraldine McCaughrean is a story of adventure, despair and cold.

Sym and her uncle are going to Antarctica. Her mother doesn't know. She thinks they are going to Paris for a weekend. But uncle Victor has other plans.

All of her life Sym (Symone) has been learning about The Ice. She has always wanted to get there someday. Why not now?

But what will happen when they arrive? Will it be a nice cozy vacation looking at penguins and icebergs? Don't count on it...
