Kirkus' Review: Nick Ross, at fifteen, has his sights set on sailing and exploring. He joins his uncle's expedition to locate a missing ship, with some vital information on board, somewhere in the Arctic. Others would gladly sabotage the expedition, and even though the adventure is pretty much bye the bye, it entails a first rate chase scene that doesn't miss an ice floe or a glacier. Rugged.
