How I came to read it : Lately I have been reading a lot of books related to my current studies and I wanted to read something different. I wanted a light read so I headed over to the Graphic Novel section of my local VPL(Vancouver Public Library) branch. I am a fan of exploration and expedition stories so when I spotted this book I picked it up without any hesitation.
Did I like it? : Yes I did. Its a simple retelling of the bravery and the conditions the men of that expedition faced.
Why?/Summary/My views : Ill keep this pretty straightforward and short. The graphics are nice and the story-line is engaging. Theres a lot of humor thrown in but that may or may not work for everyone. For me, I prefer stories like these to be gritty and serious. But overall the book is a good read and I believe a very good read for kids.
