Survive...or die. That's the situation if you accept the challenge to lead an expedition to the Murrelet Island to uncover the mystery of a lost airship. If you are going to take on this challenge there are a lot of dangers you should know about. I'm not sure just anyone would be prepared to go. Although - you can read this book in the comfort of your own warm home and you'll be pretty safe!
If you were exploring in the North Pole you would need to face seriously cold weather: much, much colder than we had a few weeks ago! Of course your travel would be done with a team of dogs pulling a sled, so you'd need to be able to take care of them as well as yourself. You would need to be able to build an igloo to protect yourself from the wind and cold, and you would even have to fight off very dangerous (and big and hungry!) polar bears.
This book is a great story, but includes a lot of information about how to survive in the North Pole. There are pictures throughout the book that give you an idea of how you would have to plan and pack for your own expedition.
This series has several other great adventures: you may want to read them all!
