Book Reviews of Ice Wreck (A Stepping Stone Book)

Book Review: Excellent nonfiction title for young readers
Summary: 5 Stars

My six-year-old child finished this book recently. We, both, enjoyed the writing, illustrations, and photographs. My child reads at around middle 3rd, early 4th grade level so this book was not technically diffcult for her but it did hold her attention very well. I have found the Stepping Stones series of books to be an excellent source of light reading for children who enjoy books with strong plots, especially nonfiction.

Summary of Ice Wreck (A Stepping Stone Book)

A hundred years ago, Ernest Shackleton and his crew set out for the South Pole. They never made it. Within sight of land, the ship ran into dangerous waters filled with chunks of ice. Then the sea froze around them! There was no hope of rescue. Could Shackleton find a way to save himself and his men?
?Well-written and packed with illustrations and photographs, this amazing tale of the will to survive under unthinkable circumstances will amaze kids and keep them glued to every page.??Dallas Morning News
?Shackleton?s heart-pounding expedition and rescue comes vividly to life in this beginning chapter book.??Booklist
Lucille Recht Penner is the author of many nonfiction books for kids, including Dinosaur Babies, and Monster Bugs, in Random House?s Step into Reading program. Two of her titles were named Boston Globe?Horn Book Honor Books. The author lives in Tucson, AZ.
