| book description |

Filled with humour, heart and a touch of the supernatural, this first book in a brilliant new series takes you on a non-stop adventure in Antarctica, perfect for the most intrepid of readers! Maisie thinks her dad is the most boring person in the world. For fun he likes to do origami (but only basic triangles) or jigsaw puzzles of a cloudless sky (yep, every piece is blue). He writes cool-sounding books like How To Wrestle A Crocodile and How To Defuse A Bomb, but he's never actually done any of the awesome things he writes about. But Maisie has to admit weird things happen around Dad. Unexplainable things...When childcare falls through and Dad has to take Maisie to Antarctica to research his next book, How To Survive In Antarctica, Maisie realises there is definitely something unusual about Dad... Maisie is determined to find out the truth about her dad. What she doesn't realise is that she'll discover some things about herself and what it really means to be a hero along the way. One thing is for sure - it's going to be the adventure of a lifetime! An action-packed cross between Adventures on Trains and My Brother is a Superhero. ""Perfect blend of laugh-out-loud comedy and high-stakes action"" - Zohra Nabi, Waterstones Book of the Month author of The Kingdom Over the Sea ""A brilliant blend of mystery, survival and adventure, with a sprinkling of supernatural woven seamlessly in"" - Tom Vaughan, Waterstones Book of the Month author of Hercules: The Diary of a (Sort of Hero)
