Trapped in Ice

Trapped in Ice is a riveting historical adventure based on the ill-fated Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913. It follows 13-year-old Helen and her 9-year-old brother, Michael, as their ship, the Karluk, becomes unexpectedly trapped in the Arctic ice. Forced to abandon ship, the family, along with the crew, must trek across the brutal, frozen landscape to safety. Told through Helen's diary entries, the story explores themes of resilience, family bonds, and self-discovery as Helen uncovers a strength she never knew she possessed amidst extreme peril. This fast-paced narrative offers a compelling blend of historical fact and personal growth, making it an engaging read for young adventurers.

The Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913 is not meant for children, so it doesńt look like bookish Helen or her squirmy little brother, Michael, will be having any fun. But on their way to the Arctic, the ocean freezes over early, catching the captain and crew by surprise.
