Product Description
In 1914, Captain Ernest Shackleton and his crew set out for the South Pole. They never made it. Within sight of land, the ship ran into dangerous waters filled with chunks of ice. Then the sea froze around them, and there was no hope of rescue. The incredible true story of an eighteen-month odyssey. Mile 4 Road to Reading books help kids take the plunge into more complicated stories. Bite-size chapters make these books more challenging while the full-color artwork helps readers understand the text.

My son (almost 7) just finished this book, he liked a lot. It was an easy, interesting story, with good lessons. I recommend the book.
Excellent nonfiction title for young readers March 9, 2010
J. WOOD (TN USA)
My six-year-old child finished this book recently. We, both, enjoyed the writing, illustrations, and photographs. My child reads at around middle 3rd, early 4th grade level so this book was not technically diffcult for her but it did hold her attention very well. I have found the Stepping Stones series of books to be an excellent source of light reading for children who enjoy books with strong plots, especially nonfiction.
Great 4 ESOL Class April 27, 2010
Tawnya J. Gallagher (Rochester, NY)
This is a great book for kids and adults alike! I am currently using it with my adult ESOL class, and they're really enjoying it. The pictures bring this amazing true story to life!
 Wonderful introduction to Shackleton May 18, 2008

I have been a huge fan of the Shackleton expetion/adventure ever since I learned about it. Mostly, I have gleaned my information from more adult sources. Then much to my surprise I stumble across the "kiddie version" that summarizes the incredible survival story in an easy-to-read chapter book. The story is still there, the writing is at a great level for readers ready for something a bit more challenging, and I loved the mix of illustrations and authentic photographs.
