Ice Crash: Antarctica by Lynda Engler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


With a good hard edit, this will be a solid four star YA novel. A bit expository in parts, it seemed more focused on educating the reader than telling a story. This is not necessarily a bad thing, considering the dire nature of our climate situation, but all that educating could have been more elegantly woven into the story. I did like the quick facts at the head of each chapter, although the sun does not set twice in Atarctica, as one of them claims, but only once a year. Again, there is nothing wrong with this book that a good edit won't fix. I recommend it.
