A beautiful cover and a fantastic adventure which takes us to the icy isolation of Antarctica with a father and daughter... who can stop time. 

This book is aimed at readers aged 9-12 and is witty and clever as well as providing a fast-paced and intriguing storyline as Maisie is forced to travel with her dad in researching his latest book 'How to Survive in Antarctica.'

Even though Maisie's dad writes exciting sounding books - like 'How To Wrestle A Crocodile' and 'How To Defuse A Bomb' - she thinks he's boring. He's never actually done any of the things he writes about, after all.

But when he has to go to Antarctica to research his latest book, and she has to go with him, perhaps things will be a bit more interesting than usual. 

In fact Maisie comes to understand why strange things always seem to happen around her dad - and how she might also have the very special power that he possesses. But with power comes responsibility, and Maisie comes to learn what it means to be a real hero.

This is a fabulous book - fun, action-packed, great setting and magic and mystery through a bit of time travel. Loved it!
