Maisie vs Antarctica

Maisie’s dad writes books with exciting titles like How to Wrestle a Crocodile and How to Defuse a Bomb, but as far as she knows, he’s never done any of these things and spends his time doing origami and jigsaw puzzles. Could he be the most boring person in the world? 

But when they go on an unofficial trip to Antarctica, Maisie begins to wonder if there is something seriously weird about her dad.  

Suddenly there are far too many unanswered questions: 

• How does he crash-land on sea ice despite having no flying experience? 
• How does he send a mayday message on a radio that doesn’t exist? 
• How did he build an entire igloo in less than half an hour? 

But perhaps the most important question is how can they be rescued when no-one knows they are there? 

With plenty of fun, jeopardy and an underlying hint of something supernatural, Maisie’s icy exploits make for a great father-daughter adventure story. With lots of fascinating, authentic detail drawn from the author’s own time spent in and around Antarctica, the book will have wide appeal and opens the door for more exciting escapades in the future.
