Beyond the frozen horizon by Nicola Penfold.
Thank you Netgallery UK for a ARC for an unbiased review.
Although a children's book, this was easily one others could read. It is set in the future, where Environmental practices have eased the impact of climate change.The story revolves around Rory, and his mum going out to Svelbard for his mother's job on environmental impact. Even early on, a line stood out for me, about though environmental protections have worked, standards are reduced over time, as greed and wanting to work around restrictions grows.
It was a tale that didn't feel as if it was lecturing at all, but highlights an important issue in ways that made it extremely accessible.
What I particularly enjoyed was the premise was written in such a way, that the intrigue and mystery was nicely balanced with hope, with action, with family. It was a lovely, well rounded book.
I'd not only say if you need a great children's book, this is one to include, if you're an adult and have a copy, don't be put off reading it either. I would certainly would buy it for kids in our family and tell the adults to read it as well.
I have no hesitation in saying this book is 5/5 stars ✨️
