Part of Magic Tree House, book 12
First published 1998
Jack and Annie step out of the Magic Tree House into a world of ice and bitter cold. The Arctic stretches endlessly around them, and they know this journey will determine whether they become master librarians. One final riddle stands between them and their goal, but the frozen landscape presents dangers they have never faced before. The ice beneath their feet threatens to crack and split. A seal hunter moves across the white expanse. Most challenging of all, a massive polar bear roams the territory they must navigate. Jack and Annie must use everything they have learned from their previous adventures to solve the puzzle before the harsh environment overwhelms them. The clock is ticking as they race against both the riddle and the unforgiving Arctic conditions that could trap them forever.
