A beautiful, illustrated adventure story with a classic feel, about
a quiet boy and a talking crow on an extraordinary hot-air balloon
ride to the Arctic. Matthew stood on the snowy peak and stared out
at the world spread before him. Every picture in his books had been
limited by the size of the page, contained within frames. Here,
there was no frame. Here, the picture didn't end. Beyond those icy
plains, the sea, and beyond the sea, a land that floated on the
ice, drifting northwards. Matthew put the binoculars to his eyes
and saw valleys and cliffs and rivers all made of snow. Everywhere
was white. Matthew has dreamed and read and thought about the North
Pole for as long as he can remember. And he has done it secretly.
It is a place that cannot be tarnished by the world in which he
lives - a world in which he struggles to find answers and make
friends, while everything seems to come easily to other children.
But one day, a crow called Lewis Carmichael lands at Matthew's
window - a crow who believes in Matthew in the most simple and
ordinary ways. Soon, the unexpected voyage of a lifetime begins,
and it will change everything... An unforgettable adventure story
from award-winning children's book author Sofie Laguna, with
enchanting illustrations by Marc McBride.
