Another winning entry in the Ranger in Time series!
Just when Ranger is enjoying the snow at home, he is whisked through time on another mission. Landing on Robert Scott's ship the Terra Nova, Ranger finds himself rescuing Jack, a Chinese-Maori New Zealander who has stowed away on the ship. This is the first of Ranger's many rescues as he and Jack join Captain Scott's expedition to Antarctica in the hope of reaching the South Pole. This well-researched adventure does an excellent job combining historical excitement with a few fictional characters. A great author's note and bibliography provide additional information for interested readers. Highly recommended for grades 3 & up.

This installment stars a character with a particularly unique background, since he is half-Chinese and half-Maori. However, even though the cultural element was intriguing, the story was stressful, especially since it involved so many bad human decisions.

I really enjoy this series. I've always described it as Magic Tree House with a dog, but this one also has an I Survived series feel to it. I think kids will love that. And this is a part of history that doesn't get a lot of coverage, so they'll learn something new, too. Great author's note at the end wraps things up nicely.
