A dazzling fantasy adventure set in a parallel world beneath the Arctic ice. Award-winning author Rebecca Stead's debut, now published in the UK for the first time.
Peter can't wait to join his parents on an expedition to the ice caps of Greenland to study global warming.

When Thea and Peter meet, two worlds will collide, and a host of secrets will be released.
