The Austins have settled back into their beloved home in the country after more than a year away. Though they had all missed the predictability and security of life in Thornhill, Vicky Austin is discovering that slipping back into her old life isn't easy. She's been changed by life in New York City and her travels around the country while her old friends seem to have stayed the same. So Vicky finds herself spending time with a new friend, Serena Eddington the great-aunt of a boy Vicky met over the summer. Aunt Serena gives Vicky an incredible birthday gift a month-long trip to Antarctica. It's the opportunity of a lifetime. But Vicky is nervous. She's never been away from her family before. Once she sets off though, she finds that's the least of her worries. She receives threatening letters. She's surrounded by suspicious characters. Vicky no longer knows who to trust. And she may not make it home alive."

Pickpick

Vicky receives a trip to the Antarctic for her birthday. She must first travel to a fictitious South American country. A lot of adventure and intrigue. It opens with Vicky alone on an iceberg and the reader follows along as to how she got there. There is a lot of moralizing about how humans treat the planet, each other, etc. Strong female lead seems like Meggie from a Wrinkle in Time just in different situations and with political intrigue.

Somehow I hadn't realized (or remembered) that this paperback that's been knocking around my #TBR for ages is a signed copy! This was an exciting surprise to find on my lunch break, as I start this one for #LitsyAtoZ.
