Description
Shackleton's Stowaway by Victoria McKernan is a gripping survival novel based on the true story of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated expedition to cross Antarctica. In 1914, 18-year-old Perce Blackborow stowed away on the Endurance, bound for adventure and discovery. But when the ship becomes trapped in ice and sinks, Perce finds himself among a crew fighting for survival in one of the most hostile environments on Earth. As the men struggle to stay alive, they must rely on their skills and ingenuity to overcome the challenges of the Antarctic wilderness. With no hope of rescue, they are forced to take matters into their own hands. Victoria McKernan masterfully weaves together the facts of this famous voyage with a thrilling narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This book is an epic tale of survival and adventure, bringing to life one of the most incredible stories in exploration history.
