À propos de cet audio

Fans of Katherine Applegate's The One and Only Ivan will treasure this timeless tale about a magnificent adventure to the North Pole and the even more astounding feat of true friendship. A perfect audiobook for animal and adventure lovers alike.

Freya has always craved - and feared - adventure. Traipsing all over the world is simply not what dignified rockhopper penguins do. But when she hears about Captain Salomon August Andrée's hot-air balloon expedition to the North Pole, Freya packs her copy of Hints to Lady Travellers and hops on board.

Only moments after leaving land, Freya discovers a fellow stowaway! Meet Zoose, the scrappy, uncouth mouse whose endless wisecracks and despicable manners make him a less-than-ideal travel companion.

When the hot-air balloon is forced to land in the Arctic, these polar opposites must learn how to get along. Their very survival depends on it.

Debut author Emily Butler spins wonder and whimsy to bring this enchanting friendship tale to life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This skillfully told first novel will make a popular read-aloud; it’s a worthy successor to Chris Kurtz’s Adventures of a South Pole Pig and Kate DiCamillo’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane." (School Library Journal)

"Butler has a light, humorous, and fluent touch, which particularly shines when her characters share their own stories. This endearing travel-buddy tale is further brightened by Thermes' charming illustrations." (Kirkus Reviews)

I loved this story. Loved the characters and the artful, witty prose. I loved the themes, both reconciliation of hearts and reconciliation with death. And I was surprised. This book initially comes across as something for children since the main characters are a cultured penguin and an uncouth mouse. But, as an adult, I was so charmed by the prose and convinced by the characters that I was fully drawn in. I was surprised by the depth of the themes and the ending teared me up.

I believe this is a book that's meant to be read in families. And not just read, but deeply discussed. It's beautifully written and delightfully narrated.
