The World of Ice
Authorship not stated
You play Fred, fifteen when your father's ship leaves for the northern whaling grounds and fails to return to harbor for three years running. Kept ashore for school while Mrs. Bright and Isobel wait with you, you spend the years learning navigation, and at eighteen win a berth on the Dolphin, a search vessel crewed with the young surgeon Tom Singleton. As pack ice tightens around a narrow lead, the captain must decide, this hour, whether to enter it, hold outside, or turn south before the ice closes it.
