'A DREAMY CHARMER OF A BOOK.'
-- New York Times on The Doldrums

Archer Helmsley's grandparents-famous explorers who went missing on an iceberg two years ago-are finally coming home.

Archer is overjoyed, but he may be the only one. Rumours are flying that Archer's grandparents were never really abandoned on the iceberg; that they're making it all up. Archer knows the rumours are false. With his best friends, Oliver and Adelaide, and their new neighbor, Kana, Archer sets out during a snowstorm to restore his grandparents' reputation.

Following on from The Doldrums, Nicholas Gannon has again created an exquisitely illustrated timeless story filled with adventure.
