Wow. This would be an amazing story even without most of it being completely true. To know that these men actually survived in Antarctica for two years without our modern-day technologies just astounds me. This fictionalized story of the Shackleton south pole attempt centers on 18-year old Perce Blackborow who has stowed away on the expedition. Very cool. Of course, now I want to read a non-fiction book to find out what the author changed. I loved the maps and other information at the end of the story, too.

Hi Mrs. LaMoore-
I didn't have a book to read as break started and Mitchell handed me this one. I am so glad he did. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I didn't know it was true, I would never believe any of it could happen.
Now I will have to follow your lead and read a non-fiction book about the events. I enjoy your 'thinking aloud' about your books.
