Representaion As Books The White Darkness

I have been in love with Titus Oates for quite a while now--which is ridiculous, since he's been dead for ninety years. But look at it this way. In ninety years I'll be dead, too, and the age difference won't matter.

Sym is not your average teenage girl. She is obsessed with the Antarctic and the brave, romantic figure of Captain Oates from Scott's doomed expedition to the South Pole. In fact, Oates is the secret confidant to whom she spills all her hopes and fears.

But Sym's uncle Victor is even more obsessed--and when he takes her on a dream trip into the bleak Antarctic wilderness, it turns into a nightmarish struggle for survival that will challenge everything she knows and loves.

In her first contemporary young adult novel, Carnegie Medalist and three-time Whitbread Award winner Geraldine McCaughrean delivers a spellbinding journey into the frozen heart of darkness.

Notice Containing Books The White Darkness

I loved this book...but I can see why you might either love or hate it. The conflict is multifaceted: a person, a landscape, and the main character's mind. All three of these aspects develop quite slowly, so if you need a faster-paced novel or a clear-cut villain it may not appeal to you. The book also has a lot of symbolic aspects and devices, maybe too many (Titus, the bound princess, the letters...etc). A lot of the plot stretches the limits of realism, so if you come into this looking for a

REVIEW: Adventure Danger in Antarctica. Shy, imaginative, memorable teen protagonist (Symone). Adult characters are useless, demented, or dangerous. Will Sym survive?VERDICT: Rounded up to 3 stars since I am not a Young Adult. Breakdown: 4 stars for Sym, 0.5 stars for the idiot adults, 3.75 stars for the writing. Averages to ~2.75 stars.BONUS POINTS FOR: (view spoiler)[ ++ A main character with a moderate disability (not dwelt upon). ++ Protagonist finally wises up a bit.++ Unusual setting

Do you have any idea how to live in a freezing dessert called South Pole? Or have you tried reading thousands of books regarding South Pole and the failed expedition of Captain Oates? What if you fall in love to an imaginary character just by watching an old film about South Pole? This book is sympathetically all you need to live in the South. No need for maps or self-help books and most of the entire journey is effortless.I never wished to go to the South and I dont have any idea how to fall in

A gorgeous book. Shocking when someone pure and innocent--not just because she is young--many of her peers are far more worldly-wise than she--is manipulated by those she trusts--she has no idea what is real and what is not. Her whole existence, the whole story she's been told is just based on other people's manipulation of the facts. I'm still not certain whether those who manipulated the facts were conscious that they were doing so. It is yet another great example of the ills of fanaticism, no

Need to think on this, but for now... Actual rating: 2.5 stars. "When I am old, I shall stand on street corners with a bullhorn and harangue passersby about the moral decline in uncles." ^^ I hope Sym lives up to this promise. "Moral decline in uncles" is definitely the best description for this book. And, trust me, the plot is a lot less exciting than I'm making it sound.Possible RTC

This was on the required reading list for YA Lit. This was the worst book I read all semester, and I'm sad that this is the last book on my list. I might have to squeeze another book into my schedule just to get the taste out of my mouth before the end of the semester. End on a good note. This book was long and boring. The author used 370 pages when 200 would have been fine. I kept waiting to get into it or to care at all for the story or the characters, but it just never happened. I started to
