Three children go on a polar expedition in this thrilling adventure
story for newly independent readers that blurs realism and
imagination. Ida, Max, and Jack go to the creek one winter's day.
They play on an ice floe then find themselves floating away--all
the way to the polar ice, with just a box, a branch and some
sandwiches. "You probably don't think it's true, and we didn't
either, not even while it was happening..." They find an old hut,
meet penguins, see extraordinary things, and, after testing their
resources in this dramatic land of ice and snow, come home safe at
the end of the day. "What shall we say about where we've been?"
asked Max. "Tell the truth," I said. "We don't know." To the Ice is
a beautifully produced chapter book that absorbs young readers in a
real-life make-believe filled with problem-solving and adventure.
This is a thrilling and plot-filled story for budding explorers and
ice adventurers--the kind of book children will remember throughout
their lives. Thomas Tidholm is a Swedish photographer, poet,
playwright, and writer. He and Anna-Clara Tidholm have together
created a string of award-winning books for children since the
early 1980s. Anna-Clara Tidholm is one of Sweden's leading
children's book authors and illustrators with a varied and rich
bibliography. Her prizes include the Elsa Beskow plaque, German
Youth Literature Prize, Astrid Lindgren prize and August prize.
Translated from the Swedish edition by Julia Marshall.
