Adrift on the Antarctic pack ice with no means of escape and no
hope of rescue, Ernest Shackleton and his men are surely doomed. In
August 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his men set sail for Antarctica,
where they plan to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In
January 1915, his ship, the Endurance, becomes locked in pack ice.
Later, it sinks without a trace. To survive, Shackleton and his
crew of twenty-seven men must undertake a trial even more extreme
than their planned crossing of the frozen continent. Their aim is
to make it home against tremendous odds, with only lifeboats to
cross the heavy seas of the South Atlantic - and the life-saving
power of Shackleton's extraordinary leadership skills. 'An
incredible true story brought to life in a highly readable style.'-
Michael Smith, author of Shackleton: By Endurance We Conquer Praise
for AMUNDSEN'S WAY & INTO THE WHITE Joanna Grochowicz's
narrative non-fiction brings to life characters and events without
skimping on historical fact. While the extensive research
underpinning the book is apparent, it is the narrative voice that
carries us forward. - New Zealand Review of Books Amundsen's Way is
a thoroughly enjoyable and readable story about some very brave
people coping with horrific challenges. It is ideal for making
young readers aware of the pleasures of long-form non-fiction
books. - Magpies 'For thrill-seeking middle school students who
love nonfiction adventure stories...the adventures of Scott and his
crew don't disappoint.' - School Library Journal
