review 1: An engaging account of Shackleton's failed expedition that became an epic story of survival. I just wish the book had been bigger and longer, because the story would have been improved by more details and the characters would have been easier to tell apart had the illustrations been larger. But the fact that I wanted more means what was there was successful at drawing me in and holding my attention.
review 2: Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey by Nick BertozziFirst Second, 2014Historical Fiction/Graphic Novel125 pagesRecommended for grades 5+Young fans of graphic novels may be drawn to this book without sufficient background knowledge surrounding Shackleton. This is not to say that readers of course have to start somewhere when embarking on any new knowledge, I'm... more just not sure this would be the best text to start with on the subject at hand. The pacing of the story and the gaps in explanation could leave some readers, especially young ones, confused.The artwork and writing was not a standout to me on either account. And perhaps some of my lacking passion around this text has to do with the fact that I live in Maine. We spend a huge part of our year enduring winter and longing for the sweet salvation of springtime. Maybe I just can't enjoy a book set in the Arctic ;) less
