"Brilliantly gripping with the perfect blend of adventure and a touch of the unexpected" - A. M. Howell, author of Peril on the Atlantic

"Completely original... a breathtaking adventure packed with heart" - Zohra Nabi, author of The Kingdom Over the Sea

"Throws you straight into the action and doesn't let up - keeping you hooked and guessing until the big reveal" - Tom Vaughan, author of Hercules: The Diary of a (Sort of) Hero

Maisie thinks her dad is the most boring person in the world. For fun he likes to do origami (but only  triangles) or jigsaw puzzles of a cloudless sky (yep, every piece is blue). But he also writes cool-sounding books like How To Wrestle A Crocodile and How To Defuse A Bomb, even though he’s never actually done any of the awesome things he writes about... or has he? 

When childcare falls through and Dad has to take Maisie to Antarctica to research his next book, How To Survive In Antarctica, Maisie realises there is DEFINITELY something unusual about Dad – not only can he speak languages she never knew he could, he manages to crash-land a plane and somehow save her from being eaten by a leopard seal!

Clearly Dad is keeping a BIG secret, and Maisie is determined to find out the truth. What she doesn’t realise is that she’ll discover some things about herself and what it really means to be a hero along the way. One thing is for sure – it’s going to be the adventure of a lifetime!

Race Across the World with added thrills and spills, Maisie Vs Antarctica is the first in a globe-trotting new series, taking readers on a non-stop adventure in Antarctica. 

Filled with humour, heart and a touch of the supernatural, these books are perfect for the most intrepid of 9+ readers!
