Imagine going on the dream vacation of a lifetime, to a place you’d dreamed of and studied for years. You would probably believe just about anything in order to achieve your dream. But what if that dream vacation became your worst nightmare? For Sym, Antarctica is the place she’s always wanted to go. She’s read and researched and knows everything there is to know about the first expeditions to “The Ice.” When Uncle Victor decides to take a holiday to Paris, she’s excited to see the Eiffel Tower. And when he makes “arrangements” to extend their trip to the bottom of the Earth, Sym believes her 14 years worth of dreams are coming true. But the expedition to Antarctica is not all it’s cracked up to be. Uncle Victor has a hidden agenda and before she knows it, Sym is fighting for her life in The White Darkness that is Antarctica. The White Darkness is the 2008 Printz Award winner.
