Icebreaker – An Epic Antarctic Adventure
Educational, History, New Products, Non FictionThis sophisticated picture book captures a snippet in the life of NZ’s Frank Worsley, Captain of the Endurance that sailed from Plymouth in England to Antarctica in 1914. His job was to deliver adventurer Ernest Shackleton and his expedition team to Antarctica.

A beautifully illustrated portrayal of one of NZ’s famous figures of our past, this story reads like the adventure is really was. Filled with action, courage, loyalty and self belief, it would make a fantastic Read Aloud at home at bedtime or in the classroom.
