White Darkness

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.

This book was fascinating, and really well written. I listened to the audio CD - the narrator was fantastic. This is a story in layers and with the main character you find out more information as she goes on her adventure to Antarctica. It keep me intrigued the last moment!
