    The White Darkness

    By Geraldine McCaughrean

    Fourteen-year-old Symone's exciting vacation to Antarctica turns into a desperate struggle for survival when her uncle's obsessive quest leads them across the frozen wilderness into danger. McCaughrean has won numerous awards for children's literature in her native England. Celebrated for her novels, picture books and folklore adaptations, The White Darkness is her first contemporary young adult novel. Symone's unforgettable voice propels this journey of discovery in a book that is intricately plotted, richly imaged and brings new meaning to the term unreliable narrator, said Printz Award Committee Chair Lynn Rutan. Readers will need to hang onto their snow goggles in this compelling book in which nothing is as it seems at first glance.
