The Ice Queen

Ernest Ingersoll (1852 - 1946)

When four young people decide to undertake a skating trek across the Arctic ice, there are sure to be adventures. Aleck becomes “Captain,” Kate makes sure everything is packed, Jim, the youngest of the family provides his sled and is useful in so many ways, Tug knows how to make “twitch-ups,” and let’s not forget Rex, the strong and fearless dog who helps fight off enemies. Ernest Ingersoll, better known for his nature books, such as “The Ocean,” and his travel accounts, such as “Knocking around the Rockies,” gives as a delightful tale of adventure, survival, and achievement for young people. - Summary by Larry Wilson
