This is a well put together combination of adventure story following Shackleton’s Endurance exhibition with leadership principles. As a small girl I had a small book about polar exploration and I remember it as being fascinating. I still get similar feelings when I read about the great Antarctic expeditions. The story is one I know reasonably well having listened to the audiobook of Shackleton’s own account “South” but it works well being interspersed with what short passages highlighting his incredible leadership and concern/consideration for his men. There are lessons in there for everyone. Oh and adventure too!
