"Well-written and packed with illustrations and photographs, this amazing tale of the will to survive under unthinkable circumstances will amaze kids and keep them glued to every page."--"Dallas Morning News""Shackleton's heart-pounding expedition and rescue comes vividly to life in this beginning chapter book."--"Booklist"Lucille Recht Penner is the author of many nonfiction books for kids, including "Dinosaur Babies," and "Monster Bugs," in Random House's Step into Reading program.
