About

A father and his sons embark on a perilous trek to the ends of the earth It is May 1909, and the race to the South Pole is on. For years, Jack Winslow has dreamed of conquering the frozen wasteland, but just before he sets sail, his wife dies suddenly. Rather than cancel the voyage, he brings his two grief-stricken sons, Colin and Andrew, on the adventure of a lifetime.   Although the teenagers have read widely of the Antarctic and the icy, unforgiving sea that surrounds it, no book could prepare them for the journey ahead. Killer whales, temperatures as low as –100°F, and deadly crushing ice floes are only the beginning of their troubles. To survive this trip, the Winslows will have to set aside their grief and come together as a family.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Lerangis including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

Reviews

"Realistic . . . compelling . . . [you] see the scariness and excitement of the trip through the eyes of the boys in the story."
The Denver Post
"Lots of shivering, and not just from the cold, makes this good summer reading, especially on a hot day."
Detroit Free Press
