Wow!!! This book is a must read!
Ms. Lester actually experienced a six-week voyage to Antarctica. As she spent the time on Aurora Australis, she corresponded with schools and families. Children drew pictures about her stories. Some of those pictures are included in this book.
Sophie's father is the captain of the icebreaker ship, Aurora Australis. Her father asks her to come along as he delivers people and supplies to the Mawson Station. In journal format, this book shares her adventure at sea and at Antarctica for a month.
Great photos, drawings!
Text Features: glossary, diagrams, maps (love the ones on the end pages!!), labels, compare/contrast
**Highly recommend.
Pair with: books about Shackleton, The Adventures of a South Pole Pig by Chris Kurtz.
