Sea of Ice: The Wreck of the Endurance

Amazing, it was just amazing! I had never read anything like this before. I was surprised with the 22 men surviving on Elephant Island and it was surprising because this happened like a 100 years ago. Monica Kulling is a very fantastic writer. John Edens is a fantastic illustrator. I hope that I could read more of the Shackleton series and I highly recommend it to all kids.

This book is a very well-written and illustrated introduction to the epic story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance in their struggle to survive the loss of their ship in the ice. If you know a child who feels put-upon because they don't have the latest model gaming system or the right type of monsters in their card decks, get them to read this, and perhaps it will prove a useful antidote to the ennervating softness of "modern" civilization.
