This spell-binding story takes us into a heart of darkness unlike any other, where the center of the earth is only a step away. Sym is a teenage girl who is obsessed with the Antarctic and the brave figure of Captain Oates from Scotts doomed expedition. But her uncle Victor is even more obsessed-and when he takes her on a dream trip into the bleak Antarctic wilderness, it turns into a nightmarish struggle for survival that will challenge everything she knows and loves. Winner of the 2008 Printz Award.
