Escape from the Ice: Shackleton and the Endurance (EBK)
by Peter Roop and Connie Roop and Bob DoucetSir Ernest Shackleton had a goal: to cross Antarctica, a feat that no one had accomplished before. He prepared by getting a ship, the Endurance, that was built to cut through ice, and stocking it with all the food and fuel that 28 men would need for the journey. But shortly after they arrived in Antarctica, something terrible happened: the Endurance got caught in the ice. Shackleton and his men watched from an iceberg as the ship sank slowly beneath the ocean.
The explorers were trapped, with no one to rescue them, in a place where the temperature could drop to -129 degrees Fahrenheit and the winds whipped at 100 miles per hour. But Shackleton was a brave and levelheaded leader, and he’d been on Antarctic expeditions before. If anyone could figure out a way to get the men home safely, he could.
This unforgettable nonfiction story of perseverance, grit, and leadership will capture the imagination of young chapter-book readers.

"I am pleading for the mothers, Who gaze in wild despair, Upon the hated auction-block, And see their children there."
With these words Sojourner Truth sang about the pain that women slaves felt when their children were sold away from them. Sojourner Truth was born a slave in New York. Her son Peter was taken away from her and she went to extraordinary lengths to get him back. Through hard work and the help of her friends, Sojourner freed herself and her children from slavery. As a free woman, she traveled across the country speaking against slavery and in favor of women's rights.
