Ice Sea Pirates by Frida Nilsson
The cold bites and the sea lashes in this page-turning adventure on the ice seas. No one but ten-year-old Siri dares to face treacherous sailors, hungry wolves and the arctic winter to save her younger sister from the dreaded Captain Whitehead and his ice sea pirates."A raging, pirate-infested adventure…But, what I really really loved about this book is that Siri’s journey it involves encounters with massively complex characters who at first appear really kind but then they have this dark edge as well." -- Radio New Zealand
"A junior version of the Iliad… a hypnotising read-alone for confident middle graders or a perfect bed-time story for any age."
