Trade Review
'Readers fascinated by the sea or by our least-populated continent will find this biography gripping ... A story of bitter cold infused with warmth and with the fighting spirit of its courageous subject' * Kirkus *
'Thermes's honed text, in a grabbingly immediate present tense, uses short, high-impact sentences that make the most of the inherent drama. Her illustrations (in watercolor, colored pencil, and salt) are full of detail, action, and atmosphere' * Horn Book Magazine *
'The artwork features a soft, sunny palette that keeps the story upbeat, even during blizzards and perilous times' * Booklist *
