The Pole offers a vivid, fictionalized retelling of Robert Peary’s 1909 expedition to the North Pole, seen through the eyes of Danny, a young cabin boy at sea for the first time. Far from home and thrown into a harsh polar world, Danny must learn quickly as he faces cold, danger, and the realities of life aboard an Arctic exploration ship.
Joining him are larger-than-life historical figures, including Canadian captain Robert Bartlett of The Roosevelt and Matthew Henson, Peary’s trusted assistant and a pioneering African-American Arctic explorer. Through Danny’s perspective, readers witness the challenges of ice-choked seas, shifting pack ice, and the relentless drive to reach the Pole.
This historical adventure blends real events with engaging storytelling, making the age of polar exploration accessible and exciting. It highlights courage, endurance, and teamwork while introducing readers to key figures in Arctic history.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
